This Courage & Conviction Single Cask is an American single malt whisky from Virginia Distillery Co., matured in a single first-fill Kentucky bourbon cask, number 509, and bottled at cask strength of 61.5% ABV.
Courage & Conviction's late founder, Dr George G. Moore, would often say, "Have the courage of your convictions." His vision was to redefine American whisky, and his family carried it on to create a world-class American single malt, made from 100% malted barley in Virginia, where hot summers and cool winters let the whisky age faster than in Scotland.
It shows a rich profile of caramel, vanilla, toasted coconut and cinnamon, with the strong influence of the first-fill bourbon cask and the high proof.
Single cask and cask strength, it is a collector's gift for American single malt fans.
Sip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
American single malt whiskey is made from 100% malted barley, mashed, distilled and matured in the United States. First-fill bourbon casks, used for the first time after holding bourbon, give the most vanilla, coconut and caramel, which shows clearly at cask strength.
