John J. Bowman Single Barrel Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey There are many ways to honor an historic figure: bronze statues, stadium monikers, tattoos. But what could be more appropriate for a trailblazing early American pioneer than a powerful bourbon? As the great, great uncle of Abram Bowman (That’s the “A” in A. Smith Bowman), Colonel John J. Bowman served as the first governor and military commander of Kentucky County, though this is a Virginia bourbon, as the distillery is located there. Be a pioneer among your peers and pick up a bottle of this 100-proof spirit to drink a toast. asmithbowman.com |

Or the dining room table, though that could incite some argument. Just, you know, remember to be diplomatic. $50 (★) |
