A. Smith Bowman Distillery, Historic whiskey distillery in Reston, United States
A. Smith Bowman Distillery operates in a restored industrial building with copper stills named Mary and George, producing premium bourbon and spirits.
Founded in 1934 following Prohibition's end, the distillery remained Virginia's sole legal whiskey producer until the 1950s on the Sunset Hills Farm.
The distillery maintains traditional bourbon-making methods while incorporating innovations such as port wine barrel aging for enhanced flavor development.
Visitors can join complimentary guided tours every hour from 10 AM to 4 PM Monday through Saturday, and noon to 4 PM on Sundays.
The facility earned the World's Best Bourbon title in 2016 for its Isaac Bowman expression, named after a Revolutionary War soldier.
