Crafted in the heart of Lovingston, Virginia, Courage & Conviction Cuvée Cask American Single Malt Whiskey embodies the depth of old-world wine cask influence with the bold spirit of American craftsmanship. Distilled, matured, and bottled entirely on-site, this 100% malted barley whiskey rests for at least four years in first-fill European red wine Cuvée casks. These barrels undergo the unique ‘STR’ treatment—shaved, toasted, and re-charred—unlocking a symphony of rich flavors and aromas pulled deep from the wine-soaked oak.
The result is a complex and expressive single malt with no chill-filtration and a vibrant natural color. Aromas of plum, dark raspberry, and chocolate torte mingle with hints of clove. On the palate, you'll discover a dynamic interplay of tart cherry, blood orange, cocoa, and burnt sugar, followed by a long, warming finish laced with candied walnuts and ginger. The 46% ABV lends a bold yet refined edge, perfect for sipping neat to appreciate its full depth and structure.
With accolades including a Double Gold from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a Platinum from the Ascot Awards, Courage & Conviction Cuvée Cask stands as a testament to innovation and terroir. Whether you're a seasoned single malt enthusiast or exploring American expressions for the first time, this whiskey offers a memorable, flavor-forward experience rooted in precision and patience.
