The release is said to be a “tribute to the essence of the state’s Blue Ridge Mountains,” combining ingredients with aging in Virginia’s dynamic climate to produce an American Single Malt. Crafted from 100% malted barley and aged for a minimum of four years in first-fill bourbon barrels from premium Kentucky distilleries, this 93 proof whiskey is further refined by a finishing period in virgin toasted oak barrels from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

“Our goal with Blue Ridge Toasted Oak was to create a whisky that captures the spirit of our Blue Ridge Mountain home,” said Gareth Moore, CEO at Virginia Distillery Company. “By combining first-fill bourbon barrels with virgin toasted oak barrels from Virginia, we’ve achieved a whisky with exceptional depth and complexity. We are proud to celebrate National Virginia Day with this unique expression and share it with both our loyal customers and those new to the American Single Malt category.”

Virginia Distillery Company’s Blue Ridge Select Toasted Oak Finish American Single Malt Whisky will be available this fall for $44.95.
