Virtue Feed & Grain, located in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, is a bar with historic ties to the state’s whisky trade, once acting as a storage facility for local market goods and George Washington’s very own rye whiskey. Now, it serves as a place for locals to eat, drink, and admire the bar’s staggering whiskey collection.
With so many unique cocktails to try, we picked out our current favorite, the Buffalo Blackberry Bourbon Smash, featuring Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
