A. Smith Bowman Abraham Bowman Gingerbread Beer Finished Virginia Whiskey 750ml

Abraham Bowman Release No. 6 Gingerbread Beer Finished 7-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 bourbon was finished in barrels that previously held Hardywood's gingerbread stout, a collaboration-style finishing experiment with a local Virginia brewery. The beer-soaked wood layers warm baking-spice and dark-malt character over the base whiskey, a creative crossover that typifies the Limited Edition program's willingness to experiment.

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 2013 release is allocated, hard to find, and seldom seen on shelves.
