Ep. 28: Cask Collaborations! with Amanda Beckwith, Virginia Distillery Co

This week, we welcome back Amanda Beckwith from Virginia Distillery Co. With the recent release of a series of great valued American Single Malt Whiskeys in the VDC line, we absolutely had to bring this powerhouse of Virginia Single Malt Whiskey. We always love having repeat guests, and it's especially fun when they have a ton of new products to talk about!

Since Amanda Beckwith's previous appearance on the show just 7 months ago, Virginia Distillery Co. has released no fewer than 4 new products. First we had the VDC series of cask-finished whiskeys (Cider, Chardonnay, and Port). And just last week, VDC released yet another addition to the VDC lineup: Blue Ridge. Aged in ex-bourbon, and finished in Virgin Toasted Oak from VA's Blue Ridge mountains, and coming in at a shockingly value-friendly $45, suffice to say we can't wait to try it live, and talk about all the latest from VDC. See you there!
