Courage and Conviction American Single Malt Whiskey Single Cask
|
A few months ago, Seelbach's Dee Jones and Hood Sommelier Jack Beguedou visited Virginia Distillery. They were able to select the 5-year 9-month barrel we have available today. After several years of sourcing whiskey Virginia Distillery launched Courage & Conviction in 2020. This whiskey was distilled, aged and bottled in Virginia. This is a refined, flavorful whiskey. Here's a little more about this specific cask.
Courage & Conviction Bourbon Cask #593 was filled on June 29, 2016 and aged for five years and nine months. This unique single cask bottled at 58.8% abv showcases notes of cocoa, pecan, cinnamon, flaky pie crust. A rounded mouthfeel leads to a soft and complex finish, with a lingering hint of barrel spice.
This single cask is truly unique, combining the originating grain-forward distillate with a cask of superior quality. Bottling at cask strength allows the whiskey to be displayed in pure form, as Virginia Distillery Company does not chill filter the whisky before bottling. Color is never added, allowing the influence of the cask to be seen through natural color development. Similarly, by not using chill filtration, a richer mouthfeel is able to develop. This cask saw a low temperature of 17 degrees Fahrenheit on December 17, 2018 and a high temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit on July 22, 2020.
