Virginia Distillery Co. Cider Cask (Batch #3), 46%

This blend of Scotch whisky and Virginia Distilling's own-make whisky is finished in cider casks for 8 to 20 months, and has layers of flavor. There's light peat, campfire, and fragrant meadow on the nose, along with sweeter notes of vanilla coulis, applesauce, marzipan, pears, and cinnamon-spiced almonds. The palate offers polished oak, clementine, grilled apple, and almond pudding. A lengthy finish adds brown sugar, grilled fruit, dark chocolate, espresso, and white pepper.
