Subtle hints of dried apricot, orange zest, and a whisper of baking spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—emerge, complemented by a soft, floral suggestion, perhaps honeysuckle, and a faint minerality unique to its Virginian terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is notably smooth and full-bodied, coating the tongue with rich, buttery caramel and robust dark honey. The vanilla notes from the nose intensify, integrating with toasted almond and a gentle spice-forward progression of black pepper and clove. A distinct, clean oak presence provides structure without overwhelming, alongside a hint of stewed apple and a touch of dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to long, the finish is exceptionally clean and lingering. Sweetness fades gracefully into a pleasant, warm oak and spice embrace. Notes of charred wood, a hint of leather, and a residual dry cocoa powder sensation persist, leaving the palate refreshed yet satisfied, with a characteristic Virginian mineral earthiness at the very end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48606405853402,"sku":"NDC-00077","price":603.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/2017_John_J._Bowman_Blackout_Pick_100_Proof_750ml-1.jpg?v=1789491488","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/2017-john-j-bowman-blackout-pick-100-proof-750ml","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
