Virago Spirits
Virago Spirits is all about character. Inspired by the Virago, a heroic woman of great strength, courage, determination, and vision, the team at Virago works to infuse those very characteristics into everything they do and all that they make. Whether pursuing the impossible, or celebrate life’s victories, Virago Spirits promotes strength of character and honors those who personify the Spirit of the Virago. Their production philosophy blends a deep respect for time-honored, traditional techniques with New World creativity, ingenuity and innovation. All Virago’s spirits are distilled in a vintage, direct-fire, 2,500-liter Charentais-style alembic still – one of only a few operating in the United States. The process is laborious and slow and requires significant patience, skill and attention-to-detail. The results, however, are spirits and liqueurs of uncompromising quality, balance and depth of flavor.
