Cuvée Single Cask

What makes it special

Made with 100% malted barley.
As our blenders taste the progress of the whisky aging in Cuvée casks, special discoveries are hand-selected and set aside as single cask offerings. Aged for a minimum of four years in first-fill Cuvée casks.
These casks undergo 'STR' treatment, meaning 'Shave, Toast, Re-char'. This process releases beautiful sugars and aromas from the wine casks, along with additional caramel, toffee and vanilla flavors.
We are one of only a handful of distilleries in the world to use these unique Cuvée casks, a profile developed by the late Dr. Jim Swan.
The hot summers and cool winters of Virginia's dynamic climate make this American Single Malt incredibly distinct.
Each single cask bottling has its own unique flavor profile.
This whisky showcases its natural color, is not chill-filtered, and is bottled at cask strength.
