Virginia’s most award winning distillery and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. In 2017, their Small Batch Bourbon was named “World’s Best Bourbon” at the World Whiskies Awards. This is the first year I’ve ever been offered more than six bottles of this Bourbon– that is not an exaggeration.
IMHO the best value in Sazerac’s portfolio is Bowman Brothers. Not familiar with Sazerac? They own/make a few bourbons that you may have heard of: Pappy Vanwinkle, George T. Stagg, Buffalo Trace etc. Bowman Brothers was a little secret for those in the “know”. Well that little secret blew up in 2017 when the distillery won “Worlds Best Bourbon” at the World Whiskey Awards.
Smith Bowman Distillery was purchased by the Sazerac Company, Inc. in 2003. Currently the company doesn’t produce their own whiskey distillate and doesn’t disclose who they source it from. It is believed the new whiskey originates from Buffalo Trace and is their #1 mashbill.
This is a dynamite bottle of Whiskey, more than deserving of its gold medal at the 2021 North American Bourbon and Whiskey Competition and the honor of being Whisky Magazine’s 2020 Best Non-Kentucky Single Barrel Bourbon.
This one hits with notes of toffee, leather, chocolate, candied almonds and some hints of charred wood. On the mouth, you get some caramel, malted chocolate, oak and a hint of vanilla. The finish is long and strong – warm and spicy with a splash of caramel sprinkled in. At 100 Proof (50% alc.), and with more than 9 years of age, this is a sleeping giant that will no doubt sneak up on you.

94 Points (#12 Whiskey of the Year), Whisky Advocate
“At the helm for Blue Run Spirits’ whiskeys are whiskey director Shaylyn Gammon and liquid advisor Jim Rutledge, who demonstrate their mastery with this blend of three Kentucky bourbons aged 6, 8, and 9 years. Oatmeal raisin cookies and tropical aromas dominate the nose, though dried pineapple is soon overtaken by cinnamon spice, vanilla bean, and grape jelly. The palate is rich with flavors of chocolate and espresso, then playful notes of raspberry syrup. Flourless chocolate cake, more fruit, and a good deal of heat make for a tantalizing finish.”
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
