A. Smith Bowman Distillery

Based on the Bowman family's 7,200-acre estate in Virginia US, the A. Smith Bowman Distillery was founded in 1934 - the day after the end of Prohibition. Founder and namesake Abram Smith Bowman ran the facility with his sons, Abram Smith Jr and Delong. At the time of its establishment, Bowman was the only legal whiskey distillery in the Commonwealth of the state of Virginia. Relocated in 1988 to Spotsylvania County, the distillery was later purchased in 2003 by the world-renowned Sazerac Company. Now operating as a microdistillery under Sazerac, A. Smith Bowman continuously develops innovative and unique methodologies to create some of the finest, best-tasting bourbons in the world.
