Toast to a Good Cause
Virginia Distillery Company’s
2020 Charity Cask Benefit
Starts August 6th
Nelson County’s renowned Virginia Distillery Company is partnering with the Nelson County Community Fund in releasing a limited edition whisky.
NCCF benefits from proceeds on the sale of the distillery’s 2020 Charity Cask, which features a whisky with a unique coffee barrel finish.
Bottles can be purchased online and shipped directly throughout the state. Quantities of this special whisky are limited, and it also makes a great gift for a good cause.
Cheers!
The distillery is also holding a live virtual tasting

What is the Nelson County Community Fund?
The Nelson County Community Fund (NCCF) is the only community-based non-profit organization that makes grants available to diverse non-profits serving educational and humanitarian needs in Nelson County. Like a “community chest”, it directs your donations to organizations benefiting school-age children, adults in need, and community services. Grants are made possible through generous donations, and partnering with area businesses to sponsor fund-raising events. For details on NCCF’s mission and governance, click here. Also visit us on FaceBook.All donations to the NCCF are tax-deductible.
