“Virgil Kaine fits naturally into the Grain & Barrel portfolio: similar to our other brands, it highlights American craftsmanship and takes a very flavor-driven approach to product development,” Anttila said, in a prepared statement. “Virgil Kaine Ginger is not just a delicious product beloved by consumers and bartenders, but also a great starting point for what will be exciting innovation as we expand Virgil Kaine nationally in 2021.”
Grain & Barrel’s work will also take some of the burden off of the folks at Virgil Kaine when it comes to marketing and promoting their whiskey.
“With Grain & Barrel at the helm of distribution,” added Szlam, “we at Virgil Kaine can focus on what we do best: making delicious whiskeys.”
Right now, Grain & Barrel’s work begins with Virgil Kaine Ginger Infused Bourbon. The 40% ABV bourbon is blended with ginger grown at Spade & Clover Farms, a five-acre farm located on Johns Island in South Carolina that has been providing produce to restaurants and customers in the Charleston area since 2013.
