Virginia Distillery Company's Cider-Barrel Matured Virginia Highland Malt Whisky is the first in a new lineup dubbed the Commonwealth Collection, each of which showcases a partnership with another Virginia producer. Here, used Potter's Craft Cider barrels finish the whiskey, a blend of Scottish Highland malt whisky and Virginia-made whiskey from a malt mash. Offered annually in limited availability at the distillery, and elsewhere in Virginia as well as Washington, D.C. First batch released October 2016.

This tastes like a mixture of highland scotch (Talisker maybe?) and redbreast or greenspot. Light peat gives way to sherry and pears. Easy sipping with a dry finish at a decent price point
Tried this at the whisky extravaganza. Has a good sweet and sour green apple flavor. Nice to have outside during a barbecue.
