Description
Courage & Conviction Cuvée Cask is a distinctive American Single Malt Whiskey that breaks the mold. Made from 100% malted barley, this whiskey undergoes a minimum of three years of aging, but the magic lies in the casks it matures in. Unlike traditional American Single Malts that use new charred oak barrels, Cuvée Cask utilizes specially selected first-fill European red wine Cuvée casks.
These casks undergo a special STR (Shave, Toast, Re-char) treatment, which revitalizes the wood and unlocks a symphony of flavors. The result is a whiskey that bridges the Atlantic, showcasing both American grain character and European red wine influence.
