Description
Abraham Bowman Release No. 15 Gingerbread/Cocoa Finished 9-Year is a Bourbon from A. Smith Bowman Distillery in Fredericksburg, Virginia, bottled at 90 proof (45% 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.
This release pairs a gingerbread-and-cocoa finishing concept with the distillery’s experimental approach, layering dessert-leaning baking spice and chocolate notes onto a mature bourbon base. It revisits the popular gingerbread idea from a different angle, showing how the distillery iterates on a theme across multiple numbered releases.
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 2016 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.
