Virtual Whisky Tasting with the Whiskey Library and Virginia Distillery Co.

At the Whiskey Library, we know whiskey -- and we understand the appeal of getting to know it better.Through our whiskey and food pairings at bars, clubs, corporate events, and private residences -- and now, at our virtual tastings -- we help people understand what a whiskey is and the differences between each style in a thoughtful and engaging experience, whether you’re tasting your first dram or your thousandth. From aging, to locale, to wood types, our educators will guide you along your whiskey journey.

We are excited to be tasting:<ul><li>Bourbon casks - sneak peek: These barrels formerly held Kentucky bourbon from well-known distilleries. Aging in American oak bourbon casks add notes of vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, oak, smoke and cinnamon.</li><li>Sherry casks - sneak peek: The distillery uses Sherry cask types, including Fino, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez. These casks give the whisky notes of tart cherry, golden raisin, fig, caramelized plum, brown sugar and spice.’</li><li>Cuvée casks - sneak peek: This innovative barrel is sourced from premium European red wine producers. After the wine is removed, the cask is broken down, the interior shaved, re-toasted and re-charred, and then put back together again. The re-toasting and re-charring of the cask energizes the wood sugars and brings forward barrel spice, bright red fruit and toasted pecan.</li><li>Courage &amp; Conviction flagship: a combination of these three cask types.</li></ul>About Virginia Distillery Co.Virginia Distillery Co. is an American Single Malt Whisky distillery located amongst the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia.
