Virginia Gentleman Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Virginia Gentleman holds an unexpected, quiet legacy within American distilling history. This liquid undergoes a fascinating bi-state journey where twin Kentucky distillations eventually give way to a final copper pot refinement in historic Virginia. Those extra miles fundamentally restructure the distillate. A. Smith Bowman oversees this meticulous third distillation pass. It’s an unorthodox, arduous journey for a bottle! The result yields a surprisingly nimble, eighty-proof pour that punches well above its placement.

• Triple-distilled process spanning Kentucky and Virginia
• Matured upright on pallets to shift wood interaction
• Bottled at an approachable eighty proof

Resting upright on pallets rather than traditional ricks, the heavy barrels age for several years in Virginia's temperamental and shifting coastal climate. This unconventional storage encourages unique wood interaction. You won't find overwhelming oak extraction here. Rather, the whiskey develops a lithe character showcasing bright orchard fruit alongside muted confectionary sweetness. This spirit drinks beautifully without adding ice. Pouring a glass revives a pivotal, nearly forgotten chapter of mid-Atlantic distilling history.
