• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But you heard some rumors, rumors.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I state that there was something up with what was going on money wise and that you know you're always worried a little bit because everybody's making so much bourbon and you're not sure what's going on, because good people, just because people are good, and you would think that the ownership, who owned Bardstown Bourbon Company and eventually sold and now has opened the Whiskey House of Kentucky, knows what they're doing and they do so.

• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is some really good news.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Uh, they were able to sustain more funds, and I just wanted to go over that, because when I get press releases like that, I don't always uh, you know, get rid rid of, you know, get know, get into everything.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, there you go.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, what happened?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, I just everything's moving along on youtube and facebook.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So everybody, you know this, this has been been being released, and so just let's get into the.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: The actual a smith bowman.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I've I've got an isaac bowman pioneer spirit, which was finished in port barrels, okay, and that was a decent bottle.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But this is a little bit different and I'm pretty sure I got everything here to make sure that all this goes smoothly.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: But let's uh, the a smith bowman distillery is owned by sazerac.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So that's one thing that everybody.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: So let's go over what Sazerac owns in the whiskey industry.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Well, they own Buffalo Trace that's the first and biggest one but then they own the 1792 Barton's Distillery making the 1792 brand, plus Thomas Moore, I believe, and one other, but then they own this virginia distillery and there's you know, I've got some information on it, uh, right here.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Uh, what I wanted to go back on.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: It's like um, it's an innovative experiment turned world's best bourbon.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So this is what happened modeled after our experimental port finished bourbon that won the 2016 world's best bourbon award, isaac bowman takes our bourbon aged in america white oak barrels and finishes it in barrels that have been previously used to age port wine.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: This results in deep tannins, caramel and spicy notes that are eligible, combined with flavor of jam-like fruit, refreshingly smooth, 92 proof finish.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Named for a true American pioneer.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Captain Isaac Bowman was a soldier and a militia officer who fought in the American Revolutionary War in the late 1700s.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He settled at the Fort Bowman Estates in Northern Virginia.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So let's go into there, let's see.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So the distiller and let's just read David Bach is ready to take Virginia bourbon to a new level.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: After leading distilling and operations program at some of the finest distilleries in New Orleans, he now calls Virginia home and leads the A Smith Bowman Distillery team With a keen eye for experimentation and product excellence.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: He has big plans for more unique mash bill barrel finishes and other surprises in store for the A Smith Bowman Experimentals.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And let's just see if there's more about David.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: In his role at A Smith Bowman.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: All right, leaning into his creative side by crafting unique mash bills, barrel finishes and other surprises through A Smith Bowman's experimental series.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Prior to joining the Sazerac Company, david was the head distiller at Nola Distilling, where he was one of the three founding members and also worked as a distiller for Celebration Distillation in New Orleans.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: David is looking forward to producing more award-winning spirits at A Smith Bowman.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So I probably have to get David on, and that would probably be a kind of a cool thing to do because I'm really getting into what's going on.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: As far as the original pioneers of distillery, In 1927, before establishing Virginia's oldest distillery, a Smith Bowman purchased the 7,200-acre Sunset Hill Farms in Fairlacks County with one objective to open up a dairy and a granary.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Shortly after bringing the idea to life, his fields became so abundant that he needed to use the excess grain.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: The one defining moment changed the entire course of the A Smith Bowman legacy and ultimately led to the best whiskey in the world.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: In 1934, a Smith Bowman built a groundbreaking distillery on the farmland and turned it into the family-owned business.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: With the help of his two sons, he produced the first ever batch of Virginia Gentlemen.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Of his two sons, he produced the first ever batch of Virginia Gentlemen.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Up until the 1950s, a Smith Bowman Distillery was the sole producer of legal whiskey in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Since then, the focus has shifted from our classic spirits to producing premium handcrafted small batches and experimental additions that embody innovation at its core.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Today, our historic family-owned distillery has relocated to Fredericksburg, yet still continues to balance our long-lived tradition, honoring one of Virginia's great pioneers.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Most recently, in 2016 and 17, a Smith Distillery won the world's best bourbon at the World's Whiskey Awards, solidifying us as Virginia's most award-winning distillery.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: All right, so there's some really good, wouldn't you say background on it?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I like that, um, but I'm gonna take that back.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Let's just see where we're at here.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Can I go back?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, I can go back right there and we'll go back up.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Nope, I think we go up to here right there.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: All right, nice background for that.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: So there we are with the a smith background.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Now I'll put on some uh glass, put on my readers here, and I'll get some light, and so we've come so far.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: We're like I said earlier.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna, we're getting close.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I believe our 500th is going to be on.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I said it before july.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I want, yeah, I'll, I'll do it in a sec, I'll tell everybody.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Um, in 1927, abrid, uh, okay, so that's the one.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Cast strength bourbon is a tribute to Abramson.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I read that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: So the back of it I don't have to read, and I think that back is the same here.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So this is Cast Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It's produced as the A Smith Bowman Distillery.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: They even put their number on it.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: That's kind of cool.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: This is Cast Strength batch 4, 69.85, 139.7 proof and 10 years old.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: 139.7 proof and 10 years old.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Now, this I'm just going to tell you guys, it's like with this, with this particular one, I swear to God when I got it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Normally I wait to crack it, but I cracked it and I was, I was really, really happy with this.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: This is almost at 139.7.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Was that it?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: We'll just try this again.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not putting the glasses on, but yep, 139.7.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it in.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, this glass did.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, here's something.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, I've got my eh, taylor glass.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I picked up I absolutely love this, this rocks glass.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: It's nothing special, but I love the taylor print.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I love the logo.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I had to pick one up.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I got so much glassware but, uh, this one's going to be a favorite.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I love I got one with the glass where, eh, tayh, taylor's signatures on it, but I just love that logo that it's historic.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It's a historic logo, so you know, kind of cool.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: All right, so I'm going to pour it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Love their bottle shape.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, love their bottle shape.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, the vert.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: You know it's kind of like.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I like other whiskeys, but I think this is this one here.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Wow, even just opening the smell it fills the room.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: This is a fantastic bottle.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pour it in my Scotchy Bourbon Boys Glen.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: It's 140 proof.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: It's not quite a full pour.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I don't really want to do quite a full pour.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I want to be sober for this tonight.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: So what we got?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: There's a couple things and we're going to get into it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Right now we are starting our Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: All right, right, everybody, the way that this works uh, if you've been a fan or if you have not, the way it works is that we rate.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: We are going to rate this bourbon.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Our rating system in the barrel bottle breakdown consists of knocks on the barrel with my bung hammer, along with four categories.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: The four categories are nose, body, taste and finish.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: You can get up to four knocks on the nose and the body and up to five knocks on the taste and the finish, and up to five knocks on the taste and the finish.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: If one of the categories is exceptional, you can then give it a butt up up and that is a perfect score of 19 out of 18.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: We've had a couple 18s.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: We had one that was 18.5 because I think Super Nash gave it 19 and I gave it 18.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: So it was an 18.5.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Have not had a 19,.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I do not believe in a while.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: So this should be good and good to see you also, walker.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And one of the things I like to do when I do the barrel bottle breakdown is I like to do it in my Scotchy Bourbon Boys Glencairn.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: This is the perfect tasting glass.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I hope I last time did I do it?
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's so close again it's spilled.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: But you can set a Glen on its side and you can let it roll around in the glass.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Here we come and when you let it roll, it completely coats the sides.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Now you wait then to see how the whiskey then runs back into this dark.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: It's the darkness on this one.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: The color is a dark amber.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: This is a 10 year so, but it still has not decided to run back down in.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: It's sticking the viscosity.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: There's the first start of the legs they're called legs and this one has is really, really sticking and just starting to appear.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: It's almost as if the legs are appearing.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Wow, bottom up, it's really, um, this one, the viscosity is crazy on this one.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: So, anyhow, anyhow, I'm really liking that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to set that as close as I can get.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Can you guys see that?
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can kind of see it as I rotate those legs.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: That's really nice.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Now, the tulip shape of this one.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It has this base so you don't heat up the whiskey with your hand, you keep it in there.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Now, some people, if you want to heat up the whiskey, then you hold the top part of it to heat up the whiskey.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: The legs on this one are just fantastic.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: The aroma coming off the whiskey concentrates at the top so that you can better experience the nose of what the whiskey smells like.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Now this is there's a vanilla cherry, almost like cherry Coke.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so good For 139.7 proof.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: There's no ethanol.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: The nose is completely and totally amazing on this.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Now, when I'm nosing, I will first start off smelling at the bottom of it, but then if you start off at the bottom, that's where you pick up those really nice flavors of cherry, cola, vanilla, and then you go to the top, but that consistently stays the same.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: It's delicious.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love that.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: All right, 139.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a pallet shock folks, because, all right, what do we got here?
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I don't need to explain like what.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Sorry, tom, tom, there are some people here that this guy has no idea.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, that's Tom.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, that's Tom, you, you, I have no idea.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: That's a fun one.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I love the people on YouTube.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You don't need legs explained to you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: So, obviously, what's Tom?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite glass to sip whiskey from Hello?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: More favorite glass to sip whiskey from Hello Moore.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Good to see you.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's go for the taste.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Holy man, holy man, oh, that's a palate shock of flavor.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Woo, the heat it's got.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: It's bringing the heat, honey and, I think, some clove, I will tell you.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: On the top, caramel on the front, cherry on the back.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest bodied whiskeys I think I've ever, ever tasted.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: All right, I mean I've tasted.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, this is probably the best non-kentucky whiskey I've ever tasted.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: It's right there with everything that Kentucky can do, but this one, this is just phenomenal.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: It hits in my wheelhouse everywhere.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It's everything that I want in a bourbon.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Let's try it again.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Everything you said, john caramel, cherry, butterscotch, but no tobacco, it's cola, it's a cola finish.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: It's so good, all right.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: So this is the point that you guys were all waiting for.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, this is the barrel bottle breakdown.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Uh, on the first, the nose, the smell.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I could smell this all day.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Just sit here and smell it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: It gets, it's gonna get a four out of four.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: It's not quite I, I would give it a butt up.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Up it was, but there's certain smells.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Um, one is breakfast blend from starbucks after it's been ground in the package before.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: If you just smell it right out of the package before it's been brewed.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I could just smell that all day.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: That would get a butt up up.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: This isn't quite to that level, but it gets a four.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Now, this is the crazy part, right here, right here, by far the biggest body that I've ever had in a bourbon.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: It is so damn delicious and good and it just goes everywhere Cheeks, top it, just like, explodes on the roof of your mouth and tongue under your tongue, everywhere back of your throat and then just hangs there.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: This is the best body of any bourbon I've ever drank, or whiskey.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I give this a four With a ba-da-bop.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I give this a four with a but up up.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Five out of four.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: All right, taste.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: So the way I can explain it is you put it on the tip of your put in your mouth and it's on the tip of your tongue caramel vanilla.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: You start to.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: As you start to move it through your palate to the back of your throat, there's an explosion of cherry vanilla and cola.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: That then an insane hug.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: So from the taste standpoint it's not the.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I mean I would say that if I could give it a butt-up-up I wouldn't, but I'm going to give it a five from taste Five.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I think that's what I gave it.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Now finish.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Is it going to pull?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Does it pull it off?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: We're in the finish.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: What are you getting, john?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: On your finish there's the cola.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: There it's gone, so it's a mid.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: It's not the longest finish, but it's mid.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: It's delicious.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I've never had a cola.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: It's.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: It's like a coke, a coke finish, like coca-cola finish.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: It's probably the the first part of this.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: This whole endeavor between the body, the taste and the nose is so fantastic that the cola aspect of this, like there's nothing else I mean it's a little cherry in there, but it's mostly the coke like the cola flavor after you, the flavor that's in your mouth after you drink a coke, which I've never had before.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Honestly, which I've never had before.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm going to give it a four on the finish.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Why does Coke make people angry?
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe the wrong kind, but I'm talking about Coca-Cola here.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Man, indonesian, indonesia, hello Saku, israel, hello, good to see you guys.

  Speaker 1: You can go upstairs and do the bottle shop and buy full bottles of whiskey and other spirits from another time.
