Legend has it that Virgil Kaine was a railway conductor during the Civil War era who built a still inside his train car, bootlegging at night. Once he was caught and shot, he figured out a way to take the edge off bourbon ? with a ginger infusion. While that’s where the brand started out, Szlam and Meany have been channeling their expertise into several expressions, including ones involving infusion and maceration. Virgil Kaine Ribbon-Rail is a limited-release whiskey that was crafted in collaboration with Revelry Brewing and combines 3 straight ryes: a 5-year-old, a 4-year-old double-barreled rye, and a double-barreled rye whiskey in chocolate malted porter beer barrels. The unique 99.2-proof blend balances spice with sweetness, with the added depth of cherry and chocolate notes.

Distillery Information

Virgil Kaine was founded by David Szlam and Ryan Meany, who decided to channel their culinary expertise into creating high-quality whiskey. Szlam got a degree at the California Culinary Academy’s Le Cordon Bleau Culinary Program, working with several world-class chefs afterwards, which eventually led to him opening his own restaurant, Cordavi, in Charleston, South Carolina. The restaurant was named one of 20 best new restaurants by Esquire in 2006.
