SC-2 is the rest of CB-23 with even heavier chipping, fifteen months! SC-2 has the same silver wax and each bottle has a number. The nose is like a camp fire in a apple orchard, and the finish has slightly sweet caramel tones. All of SC-2 went to D.C.  Batch 18 is 372 bottles, SC-2 72 bottles

Batch 17 — Batch seventeen is a four barrel batch dumped on 12/1/07. This batch has three eight month old barrels that were chipped for five months, and one nine month old barrel, chipped for six. We added more cherry wood in the kiln for this one, and it has a slightly smokier nose than sixteen, and starts a little spicy and ends with sweetness on the finish, another wonderfull batch, perhaps a shade darker in colour than sixteen. The majority of this batch went to Riverside in NY, with the rest in VA, MD, FL, and D.C. ...Cheers to another year in Sperryville!!  708 bottles.

Batch 16 — Batch sixteen is a four barrel batch dumped on 11/2/07. All four barrels are eight months old, three were chipped five months, one was six months. Sixteen is just as dark as fifteen, a little more smoke from the kiln on the nose but still sweet, a little caramel in the finish. Another exceptional batch. The majority going to Va, and Maximum Wine and Spirits in NJ, the rest went to NY, D.C., and MD. ...inject your turkey with Wasmund's and have a happier Thanksgiving ..................................................................................... Also... Super Chip One, our first heavy chipping experiment!! Is a partial dump of CB-23 (Chipping Barrel 23) and had eleven months in the chips. Released 11/19/07 only in D.C. with a silver wax top, and hand numbered bottles. SC-1 has smokey toffee tones in the nose and a bit of spice in the finish. Has anyone ever released just 96 bottles of a barrel?! Were having too much fun!! Remember to share. Batch 16 is 696 bottles, and SC-1 is 96 bottles

In this one we have one six month old barrel with five months in the chips, two seven month old barrels with four months in the chips, and an eight month old with five months in the chips. Slightly darker than fourteen, this one sings a sweet fruity song in the nose, and then finishes with an encore you won't forget! Another great example of an American Single Malt. The majority of fifteen stayed in our VABC stores, the rest went to Riverside in NY, and D.C. ....Be nice, share with your friends!  732 bottles.
