In 1927, A. Smith Bowman purchased
Sunset Hills Estate to house a dairy farm and
granary. With the abundance of grain, Bowman
decided to build and license the distillery in
1935. Due to the influx of real estate costs and
taxes, Bowman’s sons moved the distillery 60
miles away to Spotsylvania County to carry
on the tradition of their father. Using only the
finest ingredients, A. Smith Bowman Distillery
maintains their art in creating handcrafted
spirits from tradition, innovation and creativity.
Current master distiller Brian Prewitt leads
the team with nearly 15 years of experience
in brewing and distilling and continues to
craft small batch, award-winning spirits that
stay true to the Bowman tradition while also
experimenting with new styles of spirits.
