This small Central Virginia distillery is not actually yet distilling. As the facility is under construction, they've released this whisky, which is a six year old malt from the Highland region of Scotland. It was bought on the brokerage market and selected after tasting about 30 different whiskies. A local Virginia winery produces a port-style wine and lends the used barrels in which the whisky is finished for three to four months. Update: This product is no longer being produced. The distillery is now producing a whisky made from malt mash and blending with a 100% malted barley from Scotland. See Virginia Distilling Co. Port Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky.

Smells like a scotch should, light smoky character, light cereal grain with hints of fruit. Tastes slightly sweet, sweet fruit, touch of smoke, warming, coats the mouth. Long finish of stone fruit. Very interesting and tasty.
Oak, vanilla, and caramel at first. A little hot tasting for the proof. Some nice butter notes, and the finish has some heat.
Smells like Christmas cookies. Tastes or caramel, spicy, strong on the start, clean and full at the end.
definitely tastes like a scotch, the slightest imagining of peat. malt sweetness, very good overall
Good but a strong alcohol burn in the early part.
Nose apple juice, vanilla malt,
