Courage & Conviction's flagship American Single Malt whisky is a combination of passion for the distillery's home in Virginia and a dream to redefine American whisky. Aged a minimum of three years, this 100% malted barley whisky is matured in former Sherry, Bourbon and Cuvée wine casks. NOSECaramel and butterscotch PALATEBright red fruit, raspberry, cocoa, barrel spice and vanilla FINISHCreamy and exceptionally smooth With the courage to create their own traditions, and the conviction to remain true to theirselves and their home, Courage & Conviction sets the new standard for American Single Malt whisky, rivaling the finest in the world. Using the highest quality malted barley and fresh spring water fed from the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia Distillery's spirit was developed to leverage Virginia’s climate, allowing the broad temperature shifts to add depth to their whisky. Hand-hammered copper pot stills crafted in Scotland are used to distill the spirit using time-honored techniques. What makes Virginia Distillery a distinctly American whisky, and defines their signature taste, is their unique combination of casks aged in Virginia’s climate. Aging in exceptional casks adds intensity and complexity to the spirit.
