Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon

Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon

Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon is a premium bourbon whiskey produced by the A. Smith Bowman Distillery, which was founded in 1934 by Abram Smith Bowman and his brothers. The distillery is located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and is one of the oldest distilleries in the United States. The Bowman Brothers brand has a rich history, with the family producing bourbon whiskey for over 80 years.

Production Process

Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon is crafted using a traditional pot still distillation process. The bourbon is made from a mash bill of 60% corn, 20% rye, and 20% barley. The grains are sourced from local Virginia farms to ensure the highest quality and consistency. The mash bill is cooked and fermented on-site at the distillery, before being distilled in small batches using a copper pot still.

Aging and Blending

The bourbon is aged for a minimum of 7 years in new, charred American oak barrels. The barrels are stored in a temperature-controlled warehouse to ensure a consistent aging process. Once the bourbon has reached the desired age, it is carefully selected and blended from a range of barrels to create a complex and nuanced flavor profile. The blending process is overseen by the distillery’s master distiller, who carefully selects the barrels to ensure a consistent flavor profile.

Bottling and Packaging

Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) and packaged in a premium glass bottle with a cork stopper. The bottle features an elegant label design that showcases the Bowman Brothers brand and the bourbon’s small batch heritage. The bottle is wrapped in a decorative sleeve that highlights the bourbon’s Virginia roots and the family’s history of bourbon production.
