While the state’s winemaking history dates back to the early 1600s, it’s only recently that Virginia has made a name for itself in the modern viticultural zeitgeist.

These 20 year old whiskies will make great additions to a whisky collection. High-age-statement whiskies are highly sought after by collectors. By virtue of their age, these whiskies are rarer and often more valuable than younger or lower-age-statement spirits. The prestige, investment potential, and rich history tied to these bottles make them the crowning jewels in a whisky collector’s arsenal.
