It takes a certain courage and a fair bit of conviction to build a whisky distillery that dares to do things differently. Luckily, today’s guest is genetically predisposed to have both.

Today I’m sitting down with Gareth Moore, CEO of the Virginia Distillery Company. With his father’s dream as the blueprint, Gareth has transformed an idea into one of the most exciting names in American whisky.

He guides us from his father’s story to what defines Virginia Single Malt whisky today!

Our cocktail of the week is the A Cab on the Boulevard - yes, the Virginia Distillery take on the Boulevardier!
