How to Drink at the Virginia Distillery Company

It takes a certain courage and a fair bit of conviction to build a whisky distillery that dares to do things differently. Luckily, today’s guest is genetically predisposed to have both.

Today I’m sitting down with Gareth Moore, CEO of the Virginia Distillery Company. With his father’s dream as the blueprint, Gareth has transformed an idea into one of the most exciting names in American whisky.

He guides us from his father’s story to what defines Virginia Single Malt whisky today!

Our cocktail of the week is the A Cab on the Boulevard - yes, the Virginia Distillery take on the Boulevardier!

INGREDIENTS

2 oz Virginia Distillery Co. Cabernet Cask Select
1 oz Campari
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
Orange peel

METHOD

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice
Strain into a cocktail glass
Garnish with an orange peel

You’ll find this recipe and all the cocktails of the week at alushlifemanual.com, plus links to most of the ingredients.
