Description
Abraham Bowman Release No. 18 Bourbon Whiskey 14-Year is a Bourbon from A. Smith Bowman Distillery in Fredericksburg, Virginia, bottled at 146.1 proof (73.05% ABV). The Abraham Bowman Limited Edition Collection is the distillery’s experimental, small-output line, where Virginia’s oldest continually operating distillery explores how mashbill, maturation, and finishing reshape its whiskey.
Drawn as a control-barrel cask-strength bourbon, this release captures the spirit at full, undiluted intensity after long years in the rickhouse. A control barrel serves as the distillery’s untouched benchmark, so bottling it undiluted at high proof offers a rare, unadorned look at mature Virginia bourbon exactly as the warehouse made it.
With no published per-release tasting notes, the profile follows the distillery’s house character: this experimental bourbon leans on the warm vanilla, caramel, and toasted-oak tones that years in charred Virginia barrels dependably produce, framed by the maturity its age and warehouse time provide.
Produced in very limited quantity as part of the long-running Abraham Bowman Limited Edition Collection, this 2019 release is allocated, hard to find, and seldom seen on shelves. Each numbered entry occupies a fixed place in the series, making the collection a natural target for collectors who track the distillery’s experimental output release by release.
