just a few miles north on 29 is the distiller of a very fine single malt, Virginia Distilleries. Too bad you have to buy the bottle on the way home, or enflask it.
They have tours and tasting.
Their Virginia Highland Malt is much better than another one made near Scottsville, Wassermund's
They started by aging and bottling whisky from Scotland but now are distilling their own and sometimes blending them; lots of different aging and due to the varied temps don't have to age as long as Scotch over there.
