Virginia Distilling Co. Courage & Conviction Signature Malt- American Single Malt Whisky (750ml)

With notes of caramel and butterscotch, our flagship American Single Malt evolves on the palate with hints of bright red fruit, raspberry, cocoa, barrel spice and vanilla. The finish is creamy and exceptionally smooth.

An austere note of minerality and mint on the nose, with citrus notes of grapefruit and lime followed by marshmallow and vanilla ice cream. It’s very delicate on the palate but not lacking in complexity, with torched crème brûlée, dark berries, more vanilla, and hints of char, all accented by chile pepper. A long finish offers more lime, light smoke, and bitter coffee. Very elegant and easy to sip and savor.

The second edition of Courage & Conviction is dedicated to Dr. Jim Swan, who passed away in 2017 following a 40-year career supporting the science of distilling. It's a fitting tribute, redolent of grilled pineapple, citrus and coconut on nose and palate, finishing with warming gingery tingle and a hint of rancio-like funk. KARA NEWMAN
