Virginia Distillery Co. Brewer's Coalition 'Old Rasputin Stout Cask Finish' American Single Malt Whisky. This collaborative release brings together two celebrated American craft producers for a whisky that earns its place in any serious collection.
Virginia Distillery Co., located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Lovingston, Virginia, has built a reputation for expressive American single malts — 100% malted barley distillates aged in the Virginia climate, where hot summers and cold winters accelerate interaction between spirit and wood. For this Brewer's Coalition release, finished casks from North Coast Brewing's iconic Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout were selected to add a final layer of maturation. The result is a single malt that carries the distillery's signature malt character alongside the dark, roasted complexity that Old Rasputin stout casks uniquely impart.
Best explored neat or with a small splash of water to open up the layered flavors, though it also anchors a compelling Whisky Sour or after-dinner serve. Whether adding to a craft whisky collection or seeking a standout gift, this expression rewards attention.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is an American single malt made from 100% malted barley at Virginia Distillery Co. in Lovingston, in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, then given a final layer of maturation in casks that previously held North Coast Brewing's Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout. As a Brewer's Coalition release, it pairs the house malt sweetness with a roasted, dessert-leaning character: dark chocolate and coffee on the nose, bittersweet cocoa and espresso on a full-bodied palate, and raisin, plum, toffee and a faint dried-hop bitterness from the stout cask. The finish is long and warming, fading from lightly charred oak back into malt. It suits the drinker who already enjoys dark-fruited, chocolate-leaning whisky and wants to see how American single malt handles a brewery cask. It also gives collectors a clear example of a brewery-distillery collaboration. We carry it because the cask influence adds depth without burying the spirit underneath, so it rewards a slow neat pour yet still has the backbone for a Black Manhattan.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate desserts — The bittersweet cocoa and espresso notes from the stout cask echo and deepen the chocolate on the plate.
- Aged cheddar — The whisky's malt sweetness and dried raisin and plum notes play against the cheese's sharp, savory edge.
- Slow after-dinner nightcap — Served over a large ice cube, the roasted cocoa and dried fruit open gradually across a long, warming finish.

How should I drink it?
Neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass is the suggested starting point, with a few minutes to open up. A few drops of still water can unlock deeper fruit and chocolate layers. It also works over a large ice cube after dinner, or in a Whisky Sour or Black Manhattan.
