Maggie’s Now You Can Drink Like Tucker! - VA Distillery Shipping to 42 States!

[Tucker301]

I know @Geno C. was wanting some, and I'm sure some others would love to try this as well.
They have an American Single Malt in the works. That will be released in 2020, but in the meantime, you get your pump primed with their hybrid offerings (Scottish import blended with local products)

The cider cask is damned good and the Port Cask Highland Whisky is my favorite.

Go and get you some!

Tell 'em Tucker sent you!

Cool deal. Let me know what you think of it. Look forward to hearing your feedback. We're headed back up there next weekend. Going to take my Presbyterian minister brother and his wife with us this time. I might behave myself.

Man Tucker that sounds really good, especially being a Scotch drinker. Our Colorado barley single malts are really nice, and our local distillery is using wood cubes and ultrasound to age whisky faster (Peachwood!).

I thought you were further south, closer to the NC border. I was born and raised in Lynchburg so Lovingston is just up the road.

I get this message on everything.

This product is currently not available within the state you selected. Try changing your location to check availability

 

[Geno C.]

That’s why it says 42 states...

Ship it to me and come up and get it

Here, in the blue ridge, at least according to the tour guide, the whisky ages at an accelerated rate because of of wild swings in temperature and humidity. The changes in climate, sometimes it's all four seasons here in a week, make for rapid expansion and contraction cycles that move the malt in and out of the cask fibers often.
They said they lose 7% a year, so a 12 year old from VA is pretty much out of the question. A 5 year old would likely be more the norm.

I used to be closer to the border, but we moved NW a couple of counties 6 years ago. I'm 1:45 from Lovingston now.

You need to move back to the US.

 

[Geno C.]

I think Larry might be technically farther north than me...

India ages “scotch” in high heat and humidity at 3000’ASL in 3 years.
Central VA has that kind of weather for sure.

I was just pointing out another way that my home state sucks.

I'm 8 miles from Indiana, and I know some people. I appreciate the offer though.

 

[uffduh]

How can the aging be consistent if you can have four seasons in a week? I’ll try anything once, but wonder if this is how an underage cousin can suddenly be fair play. ‘Honest ociffer, the weather was funny last week I swear she were legal even though she turned 14 on Sunday’.

I like how tucker refers to himself in the 3rd person

 

[Spblademaker]

Someone is jealous because I posted SilverBack products. When Virginia Distillery Co opens a distillery in PA and have me do all the electric, I’ll post about them too. ?

Jimmy likes that too.

Jimmy likes you. Jimmy can dunk

Look what I found at my local store here in MA. Tried a glass (ok, two glasses just to be sure) last night and it's really good...

Check your batch number. #9 is better than what I had previously tried. A hint of smoke mellows it out nicely.

 

[1J04]

Do they have sampler's?

Bottle 30 of 103

 

[Geno C.]

Anyone order some and receive it yet? Put mine in on the 12th and haven’t heard anything. No shipping confirmation or anything. I got an order confirmation though. Might have to call them on Monday

 

[Tucker301]

Darn it, man! I wish I'd checked into the Hide and seen this.
I just got home from there and would have been glad to ask about it for you.
I'll message you an email address to contact someone directly.

 

[GunGasm]

Same here, confirmation on the 12th but nothing since

 

[Tucker301]

I traded some emails with my friend at the distillery today.
They use a third party service for these orders and she is following up with them to see what's up with the orders.
Keep me posted if you hear from them or if the goods show up.

Amazon has spoiled me. I ordered something from another vendor a while back. Got the order confirmation and nothing else. Day 9 I decided it was time to follow up, so I contacted the vendor. They promised to look into it. an hour later the thing was on my porch.
I like tracking numbers!

 

[Geno C.]

I dropped the ball today. Didn’t get around to calling. Problem I have is I don’t think about it until I’m drinking. Then, they’re closed.

I like tracking numbers too

 

[GunGasm]

Mine showed up today via FedEx, threw me as it came out of Miami, Florida

FedEx is extremely retarded around here so it could be another week before I see mine!

That's the third party agency.

@GunGasm - Post us a pic when you pour one. Hope you like it!

@Tucker301

Little cider cask while mounting a scope...tasty

 

[Geno C.]

Sooooo....
I made the call today and got my tracking number. First thing I did was check it. Saw that the label was created on the 15th but nothing after that. Called back and the lady said she would check into it and email me back. Looks like something wierd happened and they never shipped it.

 

[Geno C.]

It looks like fedex picked it up today so it should be on its way. I’ll be able to track it now. Don’t know who dropped the ball but the tracking number is the same so manybe they just had the box sitting somewhere it wouldn’t get picked up..

 

[Geno C.]

Fedex came through. Morons on the truck like always but nothing is broke? Batch 6 for the port and 2 for the cider.

 

[Geno C.]

Port cask is very good? Glad I bought 2 bottles!

 

[Tucker301]

Wow! The stuff I picked up last Saturday was batch #10. This stuff has been sitting somewhere for a while.
Glad you like it! We're having a cold wet Nor'Easter here today, so I poured myself one as soon as I got in the door.

 

[Geno C.]

I didn’t find a date anywhere on it but I’m not scared of old whiskey ?

 

[Scampo]

Uh-oh, that went fast...this will be at the top of my errand list tomorrow.

 

[Geno C.]

I do like the port finished more than the cider finished. Got a buddy that freaked out about how much he likes the cinder so I know what he’ll be drinking every time he comes over now ?

 

[Tucker301]

I just finished a bottle of the charity cask, which was a coffee finish. It sounded bad, but I took a chance and actually liked it very much.
