Welcome back to Your Bourbon Journey! Today, Wayne and Rebecca are taking a hard right turn away from standard bourbon to dive headfirst into the rich, dynamic world of American Single Malt Whisky. We’re popping open three incredible, unopened bottles from Virginia Distillery Co. (Lovingston, VA)—including a wild Brewer’s Coalition collaboration and two rare, members-only Courage Club single cask releases!
Can American Single Malt rival traditional Scotch? Does an Imperial Stout Cabernet cask finish work with 100% malted barley? Join us as we explore the aromas, palate shifts, effervescence, and deep wood finishes across this unique three-pour flight, ending with our official flight rankings.
Featured Whiskies:
🥃 Bottle 1: Virginia Distillery Co. The Brewer’s Coalition – Boulevard Brewing Co. Proper Pour Stout Cask Finish
🥃 Bottle 2: Virginia Distillery Co. Courage Club Exclusive – Amontillado Cask
