New American single malt

Just saw your post after putting something up about VDC. I'm nearby them and have been in contact with the reps from the distillery. I'm mainly a Scotch fan, but remain open-minded about American single malt. They answered two main questions for me at a tasting yesterday. Water source: will be two wells on-site at their Blue Ridge Mountain location. Malt/Peat: they will start by buying malt from someone else, perhaps importing from Scotland.

Very interesting stuff. Having Jim McEwan on board will likely stimulate some attention, as well.

very interesting! They have casks available to purchase!? Has anyone ever bought a cask? I'm curious how it all works out. www.vadistillery.com/casksales.html

Another Virginia distillery, Copper Fox, sells personal barrels so you can age your own spirits (presumably, you'd buy a new spirit or young single malt). Anyone ever try that?
