Courage & Conviction Cuvée Single Cask is an American Single Malt whisky, aged a minimum of four years, made from 100% malted barley, and 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. Our single cask offerings are bottled at cask strength, a proof unique to each cask.
As our blenders taste the progress of the whisky aging in Cuvée casks, a few special discoveries are hand-selected and set aside. These extraordinary casks show a range of depth and complexity, maximizing the influence of both the specialty Cuvée red wine cask and Virginia’s dynamic climate. Each single cask bottling has its own unique flavor profile. This whisky showcases its natural color, and is not chill filtered.
