A. Smith Bowman’s Distillery announced the latest release in its Abraham Bowman line of experimental whiskey, the Abraham Bowman Twice Finished Whiskey.
This limited release began in December 2006 when seven charred oak barrels were filled and rested for eight years and three months. From there, the barrels were consolidated into two-and-a-half barrels to be finished. First the whiskey was finished in Potomac Point Winery port barrels for four years and seven months. Then it was transferred into sauterne barrels for two months before being bottled yesterday, bringing the total age of this whiskey to 13 years.
The Twice Finished Whiskey was bottled at 100 proof, and will be very limited. These bottles were only be released to Virginia through the A. Smith Bowman Distillery gift shop while supply lasts.
The total age of this bourbon is 13 years, it is bottled at 100 proof and retail for $69.99.
