“Bourbon + sherry + cuvée cask American single malt — Courage & Conviction flagship”
Tasting notes
- nose
- caramel and butterscotch into red fruit, raspberry, cocoa, barrel spice, vanilla — bourbon, sherry, and cuvée at once
- palate
- creamy American single malt with red fruit, cocoa, spice over malt sweetness
- finish
- creamy vanilla-spice fade with lingering raspberry and soft oak
Mash bill
- Malted barley100%
100% malted barley (North American malt) — classic American single malt bill with no peat requirement. Differentiation is cask architecture (ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and cuvée wine), not exotic grains; the mash story is clean malt canvas so Jim Swan–inspired cask trinity and Blue Ridge climate can do the flavor work.
