Provenance must describe production stage by stage; a single distillery or sourcing label would conceal the split workflow.
The interview directly addresses a common assumption that Bowman simply bottles Buffalo Trace distillate.
Prewitt says Buffalo Trace performs fermentation and primary distillation for much Bowman bourbon, transfers high wines to Virginia, and Bowman completes distillation, aging, processing, and bottling there; Bowman also retains full local mash-and-cook capability for experimental runs.

Distributed production workflow
Paraphrase checked against the timestamped transcript at 00:31:44–00:32:39 on 2026-08-25. It is a dated account of 2020 practice and should not be silently generalized to every current product.
This record preserves one bounded unit of timestamped practitioner evidence.
Evidence
Prewitt describes Buffalo Trace performing fermentation and primary distillation for much Bowman bourbon, transferring high wines to Virginia, and Bowman completing distillation, maturation, processing, and bottling there while retaining local experimental capability.
Location and context
Locator: 00:31:44–00:32:39, “Distributed production workflow.”
Context: The exchange corrects the assumption that Bowman simply bottles Buffalo Trace distillate.
Annotation
A single sourcing or location label would conceal the stage-by-stage division of labor.
Provenance
Verification
The paraphrase is faithful to the timestamped transcript and bounded to the 2020 account.
