A couple of weeks ago, I visited the Virginia Distillery Co. They are dedicated to producing American single malt using the same methods as in Scotland (the late Jim Swan consulted with them on design). They age the spirit in refill bourbon casks, and finish in a variety of casks such as PX, Oloroso, Port, etc. I brought home a very tasty cask strength Cuvée finished whisk(e)y. This was my first visit to an American distillery that reminded me in almost every detail of the distilleries I toured in Scotland.
