R.I.P. Truman Cox

Truman Cox, Master Distiller at A. Smith Bowman Distillery in Virginia, passed away this weekend at the age of 44, reportedly of congestive heart failure.
I had plans to visit the distillery and meet him this March, though we had to postpone our trip.  The American Whiskey community has lost a tremendously talented distiller.
Two Bowman expressions landed on my first Top 12 list, and I named his John J Bowman 14 Year #45 my Whiskey of the Year.

    I am just stunned to hear this news. Truman was a great friend and a powerhouse of distilling knowledge. He is one of those folks who will be truly missed by many. My sympathies to his wife and daughter whom I also know well.
