Virginia Distillery Company Chardonnay Cask Finish. Image courtesy Virginia Distillery Company.This whisky combines Virginia Distillery’s own malt whisky with malt whisky imported from Scotland, and the blend is then finished in Chardonnay wine casks. The nose is fruity and tart with green apples, green grapes, a hint of pineapple, coconut, and vanilla. The taste is tart and spicy with white pepper balancing green apples, lemon and lime citrus, and a hint of vanilla. The finish is short with a touch of citrus and pepperiness that fades away quickly.
