Virginia Distillery Co. Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Cask Finish Edition 2025 (700ml)

Product Description

Virginia Distillery Co. Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Cask Finish Edition 2025 700ml is a bold, limited-edition American single malt curated by blackbook for whisky drinkers who crave depth, richness, and craft innovation. Part of the Brewer’s Coalition series, this release showcases a unique collaboration between American whisky and legendary stout barrel aging.

The whiskey begins as Virginia Distillery Co.’s American single malt, made from 100% malted barley and matured for over five years in premium ex-bourbon barrels. It is then finished in barrels that previously held Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout, layering the whisky with rich notes of roasted malt, chocolate, espresso, and caramel while preserving structure and balance.

Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), this 2025 edition delivers a robust yet approachable profile—complex enough for contemplative sipping and expressive enough to stand out in premium cocktail builds.

At blackbook, we spotlight collaborative releases that actually deliver on flavor. This stout-finished single malt does exactly that—distinctive, well-executed, and genuinely memorable.
