Tasting Notes
"Virginia Distilling Company offers a promising look at the future with one of its inaugural self-distilled releases. The nose is sweet and waxy, with vanilla pudding, candied fruits, beeswax, and lemon. The palate is creamy, showcasing toffee, raspberries, cloves, citrus peel, and towards the back, milk chocolate. The finish is short, with spicy, tannic oak and chocolate syrup. "
