The Whiskey World Has a New Champion: A. Smith Bowman’s Oak Series

As a whiskey enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for the next big thing. And, let me tell you, I’ve found it. A. Smith Bowman’s Oak Series has set the bar high for 2024, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a fan of a good dram. The Virginia-based distillery, part of the Sazerac empire, has been quietly producing some of the best whiskey in the business, and their latest release is no exception.

The Oak Series is a masterclass in whiskey production. By using a combination of charred and uncharred French oak barrels, the distillery has created a whiskey that’s both complex and approachable. The nose is rich with notes of cherry, grape, and vanilla, while the palate is a masterclass in balance, with flavors of oak, custard, honey, brown sugar, maple, and black pepper. It’s a whiskey that’s both sweet and savory, with a finish that lingers long after the glass is empty.

But what really sets the Oak Series apart is the attention to detail. The distillery’s head distiller, David Bock, has carefully blended the whiskey to create a dynamic and delicious flavor profile. And, at $100 a bottle, it’s an investment worth making.
