January features several new and limited whiskey releases spanning American single malt, bourbon and craft regional labels. Virginia Distillery Co. released a five-year single malt finished in Bourbon County Brand Stout casks, presenting chocolate biscuit and roasted malt notes, plus a 118-proof single-barrel variant. Woodson offered a five-year All-American whiskey with caramel, rye spice, vanilla and nutmeg alongside flavored and limited bottles that support Michigan athletics. Widow Jane produced a 15-year bourbon finished in oak from Amfilochia, Greece, imparting distinctive characteristics tied to those ancient, lightning-prone trees.
"Virginia Distillery Co. (which has a whole Brewer's Coalition collaborative lineup) first aged its single malt for more than five years in ex-bourbon barrels before finishing the liquid in casks that previously held Bourbon County Brand Stout. Chocolate biscuit is the primary note here, along with a lovely roasted malt finish. There's also a 118-proof single-barrel version of this release."
"Woodson is a solid line of bourbons, American whiskeys and flavored whiskeys from former NFL and University of Michigan star Charles Woodson (and not kidding on the flavored bottles - the cinnamon Maize 'N Blitz is a legit crowd-pleaser). There are also some limited-edition bottles that benefit Michigan student athletics. The standout is the All-American release, a five-year-old American whiskey that offers a nice mix of caramel, rye spice, vanilla and nutmeg, ideal for winter and for a reasonable price."
