It was the perfect fall day to drive MacGuinea Pig on the Virginia by-ways to the town of Sperryville at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains to meet fellow XMarkers for a tour of the Copper Fox Distillery, home of Wasmund’s Single Malt Whisky. I was greeted by Odysseus who made me feel at home.



Master distiller, Sean McCaskey would take us on the tour of the distillery and explain the making of this fine single malt whisky. First stop was the see the barley in the malting process. Cooper Fox obtains its own barley from an investor’s farm in Heathsville. Sean explained the malting process.
