Tasting notes
- nose
- honeycomb, apricot and lemon peel with sugared almonds, plum, stewed fig and cherry cordial
- palate
- silky; hazelnut, toffee and soft leather, then dark berries giving way to raisin and dried apricot dusted with baking spice
- finish
- slow and warming; caramel and baking spice hold on, with soaked raisin and a savory, Christmas-pudding richness as it fades

Why it's craft
Virginia Distillery Co. mashes, distills, matures and bottles this American single malt itself in Lovingston, Virginia, double distilling malted barley on Scottish-made copper pot stills. This bottling matures in three styles of sherry cask from Jerez, Pedro Ximénez, Fino and Oloroso, and goes into the bottle at its natural color without chill filtration. The distillery was founded by Dr. George G. Moore and is still run by his family.
