Virginia Distillery Company First Cut Cigar Blend
108 proof 7 years American Single Malt Virginia Distillery Company Lovingston, VA $60 100% malted barley
Nose

Scotch-forward with dark fruit, subtle peat smoke character, and wine-forward aromatics. Savory undertones with a touch of smoke.

Palate

Concentrated and slightly sticky texture. Smoked chocolate, bright berry fruit, and wine-forward character with a savory Port influence. Multiple finishing cask layers reveal themselves through slow sipping.

Finish

Fino Sherry and Port cask influence dominates with savory, wine-driven notes and subtle smoke lingering.

Very good
A complex, Scotch-like American single malt with eight finishing casks creating sophisticated wine and chocolate notes that belies its American origin.
