Description
Abraham Bowman Release No. 10 Vanilla Bean 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 leans into a vanilla-bean concept, amplifying the sweet, creamy vanilla notes already drawn from years in charred Virginia oak. By emphasizing one of bourbon’s signature flavors, the distillery turns a familiar barrel-derived note into the centerpiece of the bottling, a focused, dessert-leaning take on its house bourbon.
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 2014 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.
