The Brewer’s Coalition by Virginia Distillery Co. is an exclusive and limited-edition series of American Single Malt whiskies that capture attention due to their finishing process. The expressions that are part of this range sit in casks from renowned breweries across the country before hitting the market.
The latest launch in The Brewer’s Coalition effortlessly aligns with Valentine's Day. Eloquently dubbed 'Foothills Brewing Sexual Chocolate Stout Cask Finish American Single Malt,' the expression is made from 100% malted barley and aged in premium ex-bourbon barrels for over five years. The whisky boasts bold flavors as a result of being finished "in barrels that previously held Foothills Brewing’s legendary imperial stout, Sexual Chocolate." It is bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
