barrels in the A. Smith Bowman
warehouse, resting in Virginia's
moderate but ever-changing
climate to extract complex
flavors from the charred oak.

Filibuster Straight Bourbon
Whiskey, Filibuster Distillery,
Maurertown Not your

everyday bourbon, this whiskey
is finished in the dual-cask
method, using red- and whitewine seasoned French oak
barrels. This shorter secondary
aging adds rich aromatic
complexity.
*

Kopper Kettle Virginia
Straight Bourbon Whiskey,
Belmont Farm Distillery,
Culpeper Made from grain

to glass right on the farm and
aged for at least two years in
charred oak barrels. Belmont
Farm Distillery received national
recognition for its partnership
with Tim Smith, Discovery
Channel Moonshiners star.

AMERICAN
WHISKEY
As you can probably guess,
American whiskey is not Scotch,
Irish, Canadian or Japanese.
But like the melting pot we are,
American whiskies are diverse-
malt whiskey, Tennessee whiskey,
rye whiskey and moonshine. And
with the contemporary explosion
of craft distilleries, the choices
are expanding rapidly. Explore the
diversity-it's a lesson you'll enjoy
learning!

VIRGINIA WHISKIES

Malt whiskey is produced
from a fermented mash of
at least 51 percent malted
barley, also in charred new oak
containers.
*

Westland American
Single Malt Whiskey,
Westland Distillery,
Seattle, WA Made from

five different barley
malts from their home
state of Washington and
cask-matured in the cool,
consistent, seaside humidity
to create an approachable
single malt whiskey.

Mccauley's Virginia
Bourbon Whiskey, Dome &
Spear Distillery, Evington

This artisanal bourbon style
whiskey is handcrafted in
small batches from locally
grown Virginia corn and
other American grains using a
McCauley family recipe.
*

MALT
WHISKEY

TENNESSEE
WHISKEY
You guessed it: Tennessee
whiskey is made in the Volunteer
State. Like bourbon, it's made
with at least 51 percent corn.
Unlike bourbon, Tennessee
whiskey is filtered (before aging)
through charcoal made from
special sugar maple trees-i.e.,
the Lincoln County Process-for
extra-smooth, mellow liquor.
*

Jack Daniel's Tennessee
Whiskey, Jack Daniel
Distillery, Lynchburg This

classic whiskey drips slowly for
three to five days through 10
feet of sugar maple charcoal
processed on site-what
Jack Daniel's calls "The Extra
Blessing."
*

Originating with whisky from Scotland,
Virginia Distillery Co. (Lovingston) now
blends Virginia-distilled spirits with
Scotch whisky for the best of the Old
World and New World. Look for Virginia
Highland Whiskey finished in port casks
and whiskey finished in Chardonnay
casks plus small-batch spirits.
Besides more traditional whiskies,
MurLarkey Distilled Spirits (Bristow)
fashions flavored whiskey, like
cinnamon, cocoa, coffee, banana
and lemon. No nonsense about this
distillery's creativity!
Catoctin Creek (Purcellville) has been
making waves with award-winning
spirits made from locally sourced organic
ingredients and an accomplished female
distillery, co-owner Becky Harris. The
distillery's portfolio includes the flagship
Roundstone Rye whiskey, made from 100
percent organic rye grain and aged in
Minnesota white oak casks.
For 25 years, Belmont Farm Distillery
has been distilling spirits in Culpeper.
The distillery received national

before undergoing the Lincoln
County Process.

MOONSHINE
The roots of moonshine-
especially deep in Franklin County,
Virginia-arise from illicit distillers
who had to operate at night to avoid
Prohibition-era revenuers. The
moonshine you find on Virginia ABC
store shelves today isn't illegal, but it
reflects these products, which were
often corn-based or fruit-based, unaged and flavored.
*

George Dickel Tennessee
Whiskey, George A. Dickel
& Co., Tullahoma Distillery

founder George Dickel preferred
whiskey made in the winter
months because he felt it made
the liquor taste smoother-as
"Mellow as Moonlight." That's
why this whiskey is chilled

Junior Johnson's Midnight
Moon, Madison, NC Based

on Junior Johnson's legendary
family moonshine recipe,
100-proof, corn-based Midnight
Moon has been tripled distilled
for a clean taste. Also in
flavors like peach, strawberry,
blackberry, cherry and apple pie.

Ole Smoky, Gatlinburg, TN

This unaged whiskey is made from
