This bottling uses former Virginia port-style wine barrels as well as used port wine barrels from Portugal for 3-6 months to finish the maturation process. The barrels were made of American oak and French Limousin oak. After this finishing process, the whiskeys are married to create this product. Isaac Bowman, a soldier and Virginia militia officer during the American Revolutionary War, was the youngest of the Bowman Brothers.

The Bowman family was among America’s first pioneers and started making handcrafted spirits over 100 years ago. Today, as a small and privately owned craft distillery, A. Smith Bowman continues that tradition in Fredericksburg, Virginia. A small and passionate team keeps a watchful eye over our distillery. We take pride in producing premium spirits honoring the legacy of Virginia’s first settlers. Experience true craftsmanship and heritage with every sip.
