A remarkable journey through Virginia's whiskey legacy unfolds as
Tiny conducts a solo tasting of A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength
Bourbon. This exceptional spirit from Virginia's oldest
distillery reveals itself as possibly the finest non-Kentucky
bourbon ever encountered on the show.

The story of A. Smith Bowman begins in 1927 when its namesake
purchased a 7,200-acre farm for dairy and grain production. When
his fields yielded excess grain, Bowman made a decision that
would change Virginia's spirits landscape forever—establishing a
distillery in 1934 that became the state's sole legal whiskey
producer until the 1950s. Now owned by Sazerac (the company
behind Buffalo Trace), A. Smith Bowman has evolved into an
award-winning distillery creating some of America's most
distinguished spirits.

What makes this particular bourbon exceptional is found in its
contradictions. Despite its intimidating 139.7 proof (69.85%
ABV), the 10-year-old whiskey delivers astonishingly little
ethanol burn. Instead, drinkers experience a symphony of cherry,
vanilla, and distinctive cola notes that create what Tiny
describes as "the biggest body I've ever had in a bourbon." The
experience culminates in a unique Coca-Cola finish unlike
anything previously encountered.

The Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown system
awards this bourbon a perfect 18/18 score—with the body category
even receiving the rare "butt-up-up" designation for exceeding
the normal scale. This places A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength among
the most highly-rated spirits in the show's history.

Between sips, Tiny shares exciting updates about Whiskey House of
Kentucky's financial developments and announces upcoming
appearances across bourbon country. He also highlights must-visit
bourbon destinations including House of Commons Bourbon Library
in Frankfurt and Brad Bond's Vintage Spirits in Covington.
