Unique and delicious. The nose is pure wet coffee grounds. Palate is typical Bowman but punched up by the barrel proof with espresso, oak, and vanilla notes. The uniqueness alone makes it a must try if you have the chance.

This is very strange and feels more like a liqueur--not tasting nearly as high as it's proof. I think I like it, in small doses, but I can't be sure because it confuses my palate.
