A. Smith Bowman Abraham Bowman No. 1 Virginia Rye Whiskey 750ml

Abraham Bowman Release No. 1 Rye Whiskey 9-Year is a Rye 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.

Released in September 2010, this was the inaugural Abraham Bowman Limited Edition and the bottling that launched the experimental series. As the first numbered release, it set the template for everything that followed and remains the reference point the distillery returns to whenever it revisits rye, including its later high-proof rye work.

With no published per-release tasting notes, the profile follows the distillery's house character: this experimental rye carries the grain's signature spice and a firm structure, set against the rounded depth that long, slow Virginia maturation reliably builds into A. Smith Bowman whiskey.

Produced in very limited quantity as part of the long-running Abraham Bowman Limited Edition Collection, this 2010 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.
