Virginia Distillery Co. American Single Malt Whisky – Cider Cask Finish (700ml)

Product Description

Virginia Distillery Co. American Single Malt Whisky – Cider Cask Finish 700ml is a bright, fruit-driven expression curated by blackbook for drinkers who enjoy nuance, balance, and thoughtful barrel finishing. Crafted from 100% malted barley and distilled in Virginia, this single malt is matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in hard cider casks, adding freshness and orchard-fruit complexity.

The cider cask finish lifts the whisky with crisp apple notes, subtle sweetness, and gentle acidity—enhancing the malt core without masking it. The result is layered yet approachable, combining honeyed malt, baked apple, vanilla, and light spice in a profile that feels lively and refined rather than heavy.

At blackbook, we spotlight finishes that complement the spirit instead of dominating it. This cider-finished single malt does exactly that—elegant, expressive, and distinctly American.
