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.”

Nearest Green Distillery is launching an exclusive whiskey club

Nearest Green Distillery

One of the biggest trends in the whiskey world is membership clubs. Recently, we wrote about the World Whiskey Society’s club. Well, now Nearest Green Distillery has announced the launch of its own membership club. It’s called The Fifty-Six Society, and members receive a handful of whiskey-centric benefits.
The Fifty-Six Society

Members receive a variety of perks for $299 per quarter or $999 per year. Society members will have access to members-only celebrations, curated whiskey tastings, and even master classes with Nearest Green’s Master Blender. They also won’t have to stand in long lines at the distillery awaiting the brand’s newest release. This is because members have “skip-the-line” access to distillery events. They’ll also be the first to know about the opportunity to purchase distillery exclusive releases and get early access.

Dobel Tequila

If you didn’t know it already, all tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. This is because the umbrella term for all agave-based spirits is mezcal. That said, the innovators at Dobel Tequila recently announced that it would bring mezcal and tequila together in one unique, ultra-limited-edition expression.

It's distilled in dual, all-copper Forsyth stills crafted in Speyside, Scotland. It's matured for five years in a combination of Oloroso sherry, ex-bourbon, and American oak as well as re-charred wine and sherry butts.
