product Details
Virginia Gentleman Straight Bourbon Quart 1970s
The A Smith Bowman distillery was founded in Fairfax County in 1934, on the same day that Prohibition ended, and was the only legal distillery in the state of Virginia until the 1950s. The original distillery was closed when it became part of a planned community site. A new A Smith Bowman distillery was then founded in 1988 in Spotsylvania County, and operated as a family business until 2003 when it was bought by the Sazerac company.
Virginia Gentleman was one of the distilleries most popular brands, and this was bottled at the original site in the 1970s.
Sazerac still make Virginia Gentleman today, but the whiskey is distilled at Buffalo Trace.
