Presentation Transcript

  1. The Bowman Family George Bowman & Mary Hite were pioneers during the 1700s in the colony of Virginia. They were among the first to settle the Shenandoah Valley, an area that was difficult to access due to the obstacle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It became a crucial area for the development of Virginia’s wheat and merchant millingexports. Their sons, John, Abraham, Joseph, and Isaac Bowman became Virginia militia officers in the American Revolutionary War. In 1779, they led thirty pioneer families to Madison County, Kentucky and established Bowman’s Station. The brothers then helped establish Fayette County, Kentucky in 1780. The Bowman’s left a true family legacy legacy and were admired by fellow settlers for their courage and bravery.

  2. A. Smith Bowman’s distilling roots began before Prohibition. The Bowman family had a dairy & granary farm in Fairfax County , Virginia that they called Sunset Hills. Excess grain from the farm was used to start distilling spirits. In 1935, after the Repeal of Prohibition, Abram Smith Bowman built and licensed a slightly more modern distillery. This was the first licensed distillery after Prohibition on the East Coast In 1988 , the distillery was moved to its current location, nestled in the historic city of Fredericksburg , VA in Spotsylvania County. Here, A. Smith Bowman continued the tradition of making hand crafted, small batch, premium spirits. It’s undeniable the Bowman family has a rich history and provided great contributions to our country, the state of Virginia, and the whiskey industry. Distilling History
