Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky is a Whiskey hailing from America.

What is Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky?

Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky showcases the potential of American-made single malts, offering a unique flavor profile that combines traditional Scottish whisky-making techniques with innovative American approaches. Interestingly, the distillery uses malted barley from the same varieties grown for centuries in Scotland, but sourced from the northern plains of North America, creating a distinctly American twist on a classic spirit.

Why do we love Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky?

Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky stands out for its unique combination of 100% malted barley and aging in three distinct cask types: bourbon, sherry, and cuvée. This Virginia-made whisky showcases the terroir of its Blue Ridge Mountain home, with notes of red fruit, caramel, and vanilla that create a complex yet approachable profile perfect for sipping neat or elevating classic whisky cocktails.

How do you drink Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky?

Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to unlock its complex flavors, though it also makes an excellent base for whisky-forward cocktails. This versatile spirit is equally enjoyable year-round, pairing beautifully with rich, savory dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses, and offering a warming embrace on cool autumn evenings or a refreshing complexity when served over ice on a warm summer day.

Nose: Bright apple and pear notes mingle with vanilla and honey. A subtle oakiness emerges, accompanied by hints of toasted nuts and baking spices. There's a light floral quality reminiscent of orange blossom.

Palate: Creamy caramel and butterscotch lead, followed by ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot. Cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth, while a touch of citrus zest provides balance. Malted barley sweetness underpins the flavors throughout.

Finish: Medium to long, with lingering notes of dried fruits and cocoa. The oak influence becomes more pronounced, bringing gentle tannins and a slight pepperiness. A faint whisper of sea salt appears at the tail end, leaving a pleasant, mouth-watering effect.

Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky is crafted using 100% malted barley and pure Virginia spring water, then aged in a unique combination of ex-bourbon, sherry, and cuvée casks. The Virginia Distillery Company employs both traditional Scottish whisky-making techniques and innovative climate-controlled warehouses to manage the aging process, allowing them to create a distinctively American expression of single malt whisky.

  • Courage & Conviction is aged in three distinct cask types: ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and cuvée wine casks. The distillery even developed a unique "cuvée" cask by seasoning used bourbon barrels with premium red wine, creating a one-of-a-kind flavor profile.
  • The whisky's name, "Courage & Conviction," comes from the distillery founder's late father, who always told him to "have the courage of your convictions." This inspirational phrase now adorns every bottle as a tribute.
  • Unlike most American whiskies, Courage & Conviction uses 100% malted barley grown in the North American plains. The barley is malted using the traditional floor malting process, a labor-intensive method rarely used in modern distilling that contributes to the whisky's distinct character.
