Better Together By Virginia Distillery Co.

Chardonnay Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky is made from 100% malted barley, marrying whisky from Scotland with whisky made on-site in Virginia. The whisky is then cask finished for an average of 12 months in finishing casks sourced primarily from Virginia wineries such as Grace Estate Winery, Michael Shaps, Virginia Wineworks and Paradise Springs Winery.
Notes of lemon zest, green apple and honeysuckle. Hints of pear, vanilla and baking spices add intrigue on the palate, finishing with a soft creaminess.

Brewers Batch Virginia-Highland Whisky is made from 100% malted barley, marrying whisky from Scotland with whisky made on-site in Virginia. This whisky features finishing casks from local breweries.
Notes of mocha and toffee as well as a hint of cocoa play on the palate. The beer influence is there, resulting in a rich malty caramel note which accentuates the vanilla notes found in the originating whisky cask.
