This limited edition release from A. Smith Bowman features a bourbon aged 7 to 8 years that underwent a distinctive finishing process. The bourbon was placed in barrels that had previously held coffee beans for two to five weeks, and this finishing period lasted six months. The spirit is presented uncut and unfiltered, bottled at cask strength, registering 67.3% ABV (134.6 proof). Production was limited to a single barrel.

Distinctive and delightful. The aroma is purely wet coffee grounds. The palate is typical Bowman but enhanced by the barrel proof with espresso, oak, and vanilla notes. The distinctiveness alone makes it a must-try if you get the opportunity.
This is quite peculiar and resembles a liqueur more than a spirit, not reflecting its stated alcohol content. I think I find it appealing in small amounts, but I can't be completely certain as it leaves my palate confused.
