Enjoyed a nice tour with my family this weekend. The tour was free and is family friendly. Micah was our tour guide, was friendly, informative and funny. After the tour my husband and I enjoyed a tasting. The tasting includes 2 bourbons, 1 gin and a dessert bourbon. They have a gift shop which sells the different drinks they offer along with other things like sauces, candles and more. Can’t wait to visit again next time we are in the area.

I had a wonderful time visiting the A. Smith Bowman Distillery this afternoon. Art gave a great tour of the distillery, bottling line and barrel warehouse. It was quite nice to be able to get closer to pieces of the distillation process and barrels than at other distilleries I have visited in the past. It may not be a sprawling botanical garden like the huge Kentucky distilleries, but it was just as enjoyable because it was a smaller operation. The tasting was excellent and the staff was quite knowledgeable and friendly. My only wish would be to see more of the mashing and fermentation process. Overall, a great experience!

Have been enjoying Bowman spirits for some time and thrilled to have had an opportunity to take the tour. Christine was top notch and knowledgeable about the product, history, and process. Of course, the tasting at the end was the cherry on top. Bowman produces such an impressively outstanding product, the nose, flavor, notes, and clarity are always spot on. Also, enjoyed a brief interaction with the master distiller. Looking forward to seeing what’s released next! If able, sign up online for free tour and tasting. I believe they are open 7 days a week.

Definitely take the tour when you visit, it's free, fun, and educational! Tasting at the end is a nice way to fully appreciate all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating such distinctive bourbons. The shop also has a lot of interesting products along with the spirits.

This is a small batch distillery. We had the tour and tasting late in the day. We were the only ones on the tour and enjoyed the personalized service. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Their products are very good, especially the caramel bourbon cream. I’m not a bourbon drinker, but that’s so good!
