VHW Brewers Batch Batch 004 is a Virginia-Highland whisky from Virginia Distillery Company, a 100% malted barley blend finished in casks from a local Virginia brewery, bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).
Virginia Distillery Company, an American single malt distillery in the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia, blends its own malt whisky with Scotch malt whisky for its Virginia-Highland series. Brewers Batch is a true collaboration: the distillery sends casks to a local brewery to age a beer, then takes them back to finish the whisky. For Batch 4 the partner was Three Notch'd Brewing, whose Stage Road beer seasoned the casks. Virginia's hot summers and cool winters strongly influence the maturation.
Expect a malty, toasted-grain base lifted by bright, hoppy beer-cask character, with a round, rich finish.
The batch-numbered label makes it a fun gift for craft beer and whisky fans.
