Cask #0007: American Single Malt Whiskey (Rum Cask Aged) | Virginia Distillery

8 Years Old | 61.3% Alc/Vol | Ex-Trinidad Rum Cask | Lovingston, Virginia

This eight-year-old American Single Malt from Virginia Distillery Co. is a funky one, and I mean that as the highest compliment. VDC has been making some of the most interesting single malt on the East Coast, and this cask is a perfect example of why. Imagine eating a piece of fresh-baked lemon bundt cake while walking through an old, damp, decaying forest. That is this whiskey. The rum cask adds something wild and earthy that you just do not get anywhere else. Add a little water and the lemon sweetens right up, and suddenly there is even more going on underneath.
