Courage & Conviction Cuvée Cask is an American Single Malt whisky distilled, matured, and bottled on-site at our distillery in Lovingston, Virginia. Aged a minimum of four years, this 100% malted barley whisky is matured in first-fill European red wine Cuvée casks. These casks undergo 'STR' treatment, meaning 'Shave, Toast, Re-char'. This process releases beautiful sugars and aromas from the wine casks, along with additional caramel, toffee and vanilla flavors. This whisky showcases its natural color and is not chill-filtered. On the nose, expect aromas of plum, dark raspberry, rich chocolate torte and clove. The palate brings flavors of tart cherry, blood orange, cocoa, and burnt sugar. The finish has notes of candied walnuts and ginger.
