Perfect for your loved one who enjoyed whiskey, chocolate, and stout beers, this limited-edition American single malt whiskey was finished in casks that previously held the Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based brewery’s imperial stout called Sexual Chocolate.

This American single malt whiskey begins with a 100% malted barley base. It matured in ex-bourbon barrels for over five years before being finished in Foothills Brewing Sexual Chocolate stout barrels. The whole release consists of only twelve barrels.

Virginia Distillery Co. says the result is a memorable whiskey that begins with a nose of cocoa powder, espresso, and toffee candy. Sipping it reveals notes of dark fruit, malted chocolate, and molasses.

“We’re excited to expand The Brewer’s Coalition with a partnership that showcases another iconic beer from our neighbors in North Carolina,” Gareth Moore, CEO of Virginia Distillery Co., said in a press release.

“Foothills Brewing’s Sexual Chocolate is a fan favorite, and finishing our whisky in these barrels brings out an incredible depth of flavor. This release continues our mission to innovate within the American Single Malt category, and we can’t wait for people to try it.”

Tequila Corralejo Introduces Smaller Bottle For the First Time in More Than 250 Years

Alcohol, Beer, Beverage

If you’ve walked into a Mexican bar or restaurant, chances are you’ve noticed the big blue bottle of tequila. Corralejo is famous for its tall, slim bottles that come in 750 milliliters and 1.75 liters. The 750-milliliter bottle is the standard size you’ve probably become familiar with. Corralejo also has clear bottles for its Blanco, red bottles for its Añejo, and a tall, round, bright blue bottle for its Triple Distilled Tequilas, among other shapes and types.

It’s been this way for decades and decades. But for the first time, Corralejo is meeting the demand for smaller, easily digestible, and giftable bottles. Arriving ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month and Mexican Independence Day in September, Corralejo is introducing the 375ml Reposado bottle, which aims to create “a timely entry point into Tequila Corralejo’s more than 250 years of tequila-making heritage, while offering a right-sized option for intimate gatherings, gifting, and cocktail occasions.”
