Virginia Lightning Wine Details
Price: $15.99 per bottle

Description: Virginia Lightning Whiskey is a home grown beverage. It is produced in an American tradition, using our old family recipe. The corn for the whiskey is grown on our family farm and stored exclusively for use in the production of our fine whiskey. Each batch is processed, fermented and distilled under the watchful eye of distiller, Chuck Miller, using his original secret family recipe. Quality and care go into every batch to insure a timely delivery of fresh corn whiskey. It is with great pride that we present our traditional American beverage.

Varietal Definition
Corn Whiskey:
Corn whiskey is an American whiskey made from a mash made up of at least 80 percent corn (maize). The whiskey is distilled to not more than 40 percent alcohol by volume. It does not have to be aged but, if it is aged, it must be in new or used uncharred oak barrels. Aging usually is brief, i.e., six months. During aging the whiskey picks up color and flavor and its harshness is reduced.
