With the courage to create our own traditions, and the conviction to remain true to ourselves and our home, Courage & Conviction sets the new standard forAmerican single malt whisky, rivaling the finest in the world.
Developed under the tutelage of thelate Dr. Jim Swan, Courage & Convictionfeatures three core barrel types:
- Bourbon casks:These barrels formerly held Kentucky bourbon from well-known distilleries. Aging in American oak bourbon casks add notes of vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, oak, smoke and cinnamon.
- Sherry casks: The distillery uses Sherry cask types, including Fino, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez. These casks give the whisky notes of tart cherry, golden raisin, fig, caramelized plum, brown sugar and spice.
- Cuve casks:This innovative barrel is sourced from premium European red wine producers. After the wine is removed, the cask is broken down, the interior shaved, re-toasted and re-charred, and then put back together again. The re-toasting and re-charring of the cask energizes the wood sugars and brings forward barrel spice, bright red fruit and toasted pecan.
The Flagship release of Courage & Convictionisa combination of these three cask types.Additional products will feature individual bottlings of each cask type, with a targeted release date in Spring 2021.
