EP-14 Bowman, Bowman, & a Gentleman
In this episode, we're taking a trip to the Old Dominion for a proper bourbon tasting. Brandon and Bobby are exploring the storied history of A. Smith Bowman Distillery, starting with a side-by-side comparison of two of their flagship bourbons: the smooth and balanced Bowman Brothers Small Batch and the complex, single-barrel-selected John J. Bowman.
The conversation gets even more interesting when Bobby reveals his secret stash—a bottle of Virginia Gentleman, the distillery's original and more historical bourbon. What's the connection between this "gentleman" and the Bowman brothers? And what's the fun story that ties it all together? Tune in to find out as they sip, review, and uncover the unique legacy of Virginia's oldest distillery.
