Drake’s Whiskey? Virginia Black Explained

This episode dives into Virginia Black American Whiskey — a bottle backed by Drake that raises more questions than answers.

It’s not labelled as bourbon.
It’s distilled in Indiana.
It’s darker than it should be for its age.

So what’s actually going on?

We break down:

• What likely sits behind the liquid (MGP sourcing)
• Why it doesn’t qualify as bourbon
• Whether flavouring or finishing is involved
• And why, despite all that… it’s actually pretty enjoyable

This is a great example of judging a bottle too early — and being proven wrong.
