The late Dr. George G. Moore was a native Irishman, with an incredible passion for single malt whiskyand his adopted home Virginia. His Virginia Distillery Company is a union of these two passions, brought to life in 2011. Today the distillery is looked after by, George's son,Gareth Moore and his wife,Maggie Moore, who have continued to preserve and cultivate George's single malt dream. Virginia Distillery Company is currently producing an American Single Malt on-site using malted barley from the U.S. and water from Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. This distillery flagship is being aged in ex-bourbon, sherry and re-toasted wine casks. Virginia's hot summers and cool winters significantly influence the aging cycle, imparting a distinctive character onto the whisky. This flagship will be released in three to six years from the time of casking, in 2019. While this single malt matures, Virginia Distillery offers their Virginia-Highland Malt Whisky expression, distilled from 100% malted barley, and crafted from single malt whisky produced in the Scottish Highlands a region known for producing bold and powerful single malts that are full-bodied, rich, textured, and characterized by a touch of smoke and fruit. The whisky is then transported over 3,000 miles to the Virginia Distilling Company in Lovingston, Virginia where the Scotch is married with whisky made onsite in Virginia. This hybrid whisky is finished for several months in French oak casks that were previously used to mature a Virginia port-style wine. The French oak casks, which are sourced from a local Virginia winery, impart a copper-reddish hue to the whisky and contribute sweet, fruity notes. Port Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky has notes of dried fruit and raisins on the nose, along with vanilla and barrel spice. The palate has hints of toffee, cocoa and toasted oak with a soft finish. Enjoy it neat, with a cube or a splash of water or in your favorite specialty cocktail.

Limited Release

Tasting Notes

Nose: An exquisite blend of aromas revealing layers of floral, dried fruit, and spice notes.

Palate: Dried apricot, ginger, cinnamon, green tea, and lavender lead to a rich palate showcasing the aged rye whiskey components. Deeper on the palate, hints of dark cocoa balance traditional herbal tea, honey, and tobacco.

Finish: A long finish balances light caramel with lingering ground pepper and rye spice. 

Normally, 60% of a Whisk(e)y's flavor comes from the wood. This is enhanced even more so by the extra aging period, so Stephanie decided to place this blend in ex-Caribbean rum casks to finish their maturation. This specific cask finishing beautifully complements the classic Dewar's house style, creating a complex, yet harmonious blend.

Bottle Size: 750ml

Delicious, plump and black fruit forward, the Legend Proprietary blend marries the best blocks of Syrah from our Annadel Gap Vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon from an organic vineyard in the Knights Valley. Mouth-filling in texture, the wine has heft and weight while being fantastically balanced in the finish.

WHAT TO EXPECT
This devilish blend of malt and grain whiskey is liquid gold. The nose is full of aromas of baked apples, fresh hay and warm brown sugar. Equally enticing on the palate, we have flavours of toffee apples, cider and caramel. A fiendish finish full of gentle nutmeg, cinnamon spice & lingering sweetness.

Westland Outpost Range whiskey Garryana is a series that explores a native species of oak for barrel aging. In Edition 7, the rich and savory Garry Oak interacts with sturdy Washington Wine. The high percentage of both cask types result in a mélange of spices and savory fruits 

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Blackberry compote, clove, pizza crust, apple turnover.

Palate: Molasses, charred cedar, black currant, dry apple cider. 

It is safe to say that Château D’Esclans is the only rosé producer to be able to achieve this style of wine with such concentration. In a blind tasting, most sommeliers and wine experts would guess it is a White Burgundy like Meursault or Chassagne-Montrachet. Approachable when young, yet a rosé which can be aged.

TASTING NOTES

AROMA: Ripe red berry aromas with toasty and hazel nut notes.

PALATE: Full-bodied, yet elegant. Ripe pineapple and ginger notes with hints of black licorice, making for a rich and exotic palate.

FINISH: Elegant, long a juicy with a suave finish.

Blanton’s Gold Edition was created for discerning bourbon aficionados who appreciate exceptional smoothness and complexity in their bourbon whiskey. The nose is first marked by spicy rye and tobacco notes.  Caramel and honey follow soon after, mingled with dark fruit and citrus notes. The palate emulates the same complex nose with rye, tobacco, and honey at the forefront. Round and bold notes of charred oak and vanilla carry you through to an extremely long and harmonious finish. This bourbon consistently delivers on balance and character, on par with the world’s finest whiskey. Best served neat or with a splash of water. Bottled at 51.5% alcohol by volume.

The Battle of Clontarf

At the battle of Clontarf in 1014, Irish High King Brian Boru sent Viking invaders tumbling back into the sea and achieved a remarkable victory for the Irish over the fearsome Vikings. The two armies met on the fields of Clontarf near the city of Dublin on Good Friday in the spring of 1014. The battle lasted all day, raging across the fields and forests with no side gaining a clear advantage. Finally, with all of their leaders dead or dying, the Vikings broke ranks and returned to their ships. Through this valiant and bloody victory at Clontarf, Brian Boru and his men made possible the Ireland that we know today. Our whiskey is named after this famous battle.

Each batch is triple distilled and filtered through Atlantic Oak charcoal to provide a pure, clean, and distinctive taste then aged for at least four years in charred oak bourbon casks.

Description

Rum in Montana? Yes and it is good... We fell in love with rum while spending a significant amount of time many years ago in the Caribbean island of Anguilla, learning all about different styles of rum from the original blenders of Pyrat Rum. We make our Hibiscus Coconut Rum using Louisiana Molasses and 1st cut, raw cane sugar from Columbia.

It is our blend between a Martinique Agricole Rum and a Dominican Blackstrap Rum. We ferment and distill everything at our distillery. After distillation we steep in dried Hibiscus flowers from a tea company out of Jamaica, giving it a subtle red hue and the slight astringency balances out the sweetness of the coconut. We were featured in Esquire as one of the seven flavored spirits in the world worth drinking, have been written about in Playboy and Wine Enthusiast Magazine and have won 5 medals in international spirit competitions

Bottled-in-Bond edition of the Bonticou Crag

TASTING NOTES
This full, exceptionally smooth rye bears aromas and notes of ginger, vanilla, honey, black pepper, charred oak and walnuts.

TO SERVE
Meant to be enjoyed neat at bottle strength.

DISTILLATION
100% malt rye Mash bill, bottled at 100 proof / 50% ABV

LIMITED RELEASE OF COPPERSEA’S 100% RYE MALT WHISKY
The Bottled-in-Bond release of the Bonticou Crag fulfills our mission of creating spirits of historic significance. The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 was one of the first consumer protection laws in the United States, and mandates (among other things) that the whisky be made, aged, and bottled by the distillery on the label.

We floor malt the rye in our own malt house in the traditional manner, hand-raking daily to ensure proper aeration in the sprouting grain and then lightly kiln-toasting to dry and preserve. As with all Coppersea spirits, the 100% malted rye is fermented in open-top fermenters and distilled twice in direct-fired alembic stills, which imparts a richer flavor.

Our low-barrel proof of 105 really shines in the Bottled-in-Bond expression, which is bottled at almost barrel strength and receives only a dash of water to bottle proof.

Character, distinction, and beauty in one piece. Clase Azul Mezcal Durango is made from Cenizo Agave, an agave varietal that grows wild in the state of Durango in Northern Mexico. The combination of mineral-rich soil and water from natural springs give it a distinctive and smoky character with complex flavor notes.   The distillation process faithfully follows artisanal methods to create a unique profile and pays tribute to the ancient mezcal tradition.
