A. Smith Bowman Distillery

Home of the world’s best bourbon. Two years in a row.

The oldest distillery in Virginia, A. Smith Bowman Distillery’s roots date back to the years before Prohibition when A. Smith Bowman purchased a dairy and granary called Sunset Hills Farm in 1927. After Virginia repealed Prohibition in 1935, A. Smith Bowman built a groundbreaking whiskey distillery on his farm utilizing the excess grain produced in his fields. Now located in Fredericksburg, our historic family-owned distillery continues to balance the time-honored traditions on which we were founded with innovation and experimentation to produce premium, hand-crafted spirits. As Virginia’s most award-winning distillery, our various brands have been honored with many prestigious awards over the years, including World’s Best Bourbon two years in a row! Offering complimentary tours seven days a week, we look forward to welcoming you to A. Smith Bowman Distillery!
