Courage & Conviction American Single Malt Whisky: Signature Malt represents the epitome of craftsmanship and innovation, inspired by the founder’s guiding principle to “Have the courage of your convictions.” This flagship expression is a blend of artistry and the dynamic Virginia climate, matured for a minimum of five years in a harmonious marriage of first-fill ex-bourbon casks, ex-sherry casks (oloroso, PX, and fino), and STR cuvée casks.
