Not sure which way you will be traveling....but there is Ragged Branch Distillery in that area, you can get their products at any of the Virginia ABC store.
Another one I really enjoyed is Copper Fox in Sperryville (about an hour North) Did the tour and brought home a couple bottles....you can also snag their bottles in most Virginia ABC stores..at one time they made a Wasmund's Whiskey in for the owner RIck Wasmund, supposedly it is now renamed with a Copper FOx label.
And don't speed down there....Va. State Police are the worst when it comes to a micro fraction over the limit, traffic court is certainly a cash cow for them.

Best place I could think of for this (unless the mod wants to move this to politics).
Congratulations, You’re Already Boycotting Russian Vodka
Edit: It might be more complicated:

I bet I am not the only one who did not know this.... today’s Stolichnaya comes from Latvia, a loyal member of NATO.
Edit: It might be more complicated:
SPI, the company controlled by Yuri Shefler, produces Stolichnaya in Latvia at Latvijas Balzams, using Latvian water but alcohol from a distillery in Tambov, Russia.

Sipping Wild Turkey Rare Breed, rain falling outside, and watching The Great Debaters. Life is good. Seems reminiscent of this place.

I got a bottle at my local spot but gifted it to a co-worker who retired and is a Dickel drinker. Still waiting on his review!
I’ll let you know what he thinks.Re: Bourbon
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2022 10:08 am
Still sitting on my bar, unopened. Not sure what special occasion I am waiting for, maybe Father’s Day. It took 3 stores to find it. My local store had it while Total Wine did not. It’s $60 more than I ever spent on liquor before. I once spent almost $400 on a bottle of Krug Vintage Brut Rose. Along with Chateau D’qyuem probably the most delicious alcoholic beverage I have had.a fan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 10:54 pmThat reminds me.....did y'all get a chance to try the Dickel & Leopold Rye?

Anyone had any new pours worth sharing?
I've been finishing off a Blanton's I opened for a graduation toast, I tend to use these for celebrations since most people think it's the best bourbon on the market. Snagged a couple Yellwstone's, they are not bad at all for the price point in the mid $30's
I also picked up a store pick of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof at 123.6 proof....super hot. Strangely I had some JD Coy Hill at 140 proof and it was nowhere near as hot as the ECBP.

My son and some of his lax teammates are on a 6 week road trip across the country. While they were in ST Louis last week, they went to Salt and Smoke bbq. My son sent me a screen shot of their bourbon list asking for advice on what to order. At first glance, I recommended Col. EH Taylor small batch for $6.00, then I saw Weller Special Reserve for only $4.00. Unbelievable price and they all enjoyed a couple of Weller on the rocks!

The entire whisk(e)y & tequila/mezcal industry has crammed about 30 years of growth from two factors: 1. Covid....leading to folks with stable, work-at-home jobs getting into whiskey because they didn't have to worry about DUI's, and could skype with Head Distillers in countless whiskey/agave club events.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 9:00 pm Crazy money: https://robbreport.com/food-drink/spiri ... gAbQ72ObWY
2. The Great Wealth Transfer (all over financial wonk sites). Boomers handing $68 Trillion over to their kids and grandkids in the next 8 years. So Gen X and Boomers will be beyond flush, and conspicuous consumption (trophy whiskies) will accelerate.
Had a Exec at the top of our field tell me that they're working on $150-$500 bottles of spirits as fast as they can. And he said no matter what they do, they won't be able to keep up with demand over the next 20 years.
Suffice it to say, that pricing will go UP for whiskies/tequilas with good stories behind them. And age statements without support stories will fall.....
The 1st world is dividing into haves and have nots at an accelerate pace that we've never seen before.
