Virginia Distillery Co. Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Cask Finish is a limited-edition American single malt from the Brewer's Coalition series, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) in a 700ml bottle.
Virginia Distillery Company works with preeminent breweries across the country to source exceptional beer barrels for its American single malt. This second edition is influenced by the robust character of Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout. Made from 100% malted barley, it aged over five years in premium ex-bourbon barrels and was then finished in Bourbon County Brand Stout barrels. Just twenty barrels were sourced for the release.
