After many years in the making, the inaugural release of Courage & Conviction is now available. Inspired by the guiding principle of our founder Dr. George G. Moore, to "have the courage of your convictions," our flagship American Single Malt whisky is a combination of our passion for our home in Virginia and our dream to redefine American whisky.

Virginia Distillery Company is an American Single Malt Whisky distillery located amongst the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia. From the impeccable quality of the ingredients we source, to the years spent perfecting our maturation process, we make whisky the right way – our way – never sacrificing the best for the easier, safer path. Our American Blended Malt series has been awarded World Whiskies Awards annually since 2017 and Courage & Conviction was recently awarded 91 Points by Whisky Advocate.

Virginia Distillery Company is located in Lovingston, Virginia amongst the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have been distilling and welcoming visitors to our Visitors Center since 2015. The late Dr. George G. Moore had a great passion for single malt whisky and his adopted home in Virginia. A native Irishman, George came to the U.S. in the 1970’s to seek new opportunities. In 2011, after many years of building successful businesses in both the U.S. and Ireland, George finally had the chance to combine his two passions when he started Virginia Distillery Company. Today, George’s wife, Angela Moore and their son, Gareth Moore, along with his wife, Maggie Moore, have taken the helm to continue building George’s dream.
