Insist on the Best — That’s How This Distillery’s Founder Wanted It | Virginia Distillery Co. and Courage & Conviction are back with another elite American Single Malt whisky | Virginia Distillery Co. decided to name their flagship line of American Single Malts “Courage & Conviction” after a saying their late founder, Dr. George G. Moore, was fond of using. That saying — “Have the courage of your convictions” — serves as the distillery’s credo and core principle. It’s evident in the hundreds of awards the distillery has won and in every sip of their American Single Malts, including their newest gem, Courage & Conviction Double Cask Reserve. This blend epitomizes the artistry and devotion to craft at the heart of Virginia Distillery Co. Every drop encapsulates the courage and conviction it takes to bring world-class single malt to America — a vision Dr. Moore passed on to his family, who have successfully elevated his distillery to become a world leader in the fastest-growing category in whisky. Double Cask Reserve gets its name from the unique process it undergoes. First, the whisky is aged for at least five years in first-fill bourbon casks and red wine Cuvée casks, imparting a warm, toasty sweetness to its character. Then, they are vatted together in a gradual, gentle marriage that adds layers of complexity. Its deep amber hue is warm and inviting as hints of dried fruits, spice and vanilla continue to draw you in. As that first sip hits your palate, waves of caramel, honey and dark chocolate mingle with notes of cinnamon and oak. The finish is long and satisfying enough to remind you why the distillery is considered one of the best. If you haven’t yet expanded your whisky drinking to include American Single Malt, there’s no better place to start than at the top. You’re an individual of conviction, after all — insist on the very best. |
