“Chewing” gives me darker honey, toasted vanilla meringue, licorice, strawberry, ripe apple, hints of dark berries, a little fennel, roasted oak, clove, cinnamon, and possibly some candied pineapple. John Bowman Single Barrel Bourbon is generally calm and gentle, but still a tasty and balanced bourbon. I truly enjoy drinking this, but it’s missing an extra gear of richness and that “something something” that barely holds it back from “Top Shelf” levels of flavor.
