Courage & Conviction
Double Cask Reserve American Single Malt Whiskey
Category: American Single Malt Whiskey
Date Tasted:
7/27/2023
Country: USA
Alcohol: 48%
Golden amber color. Aromas of toasted shredded wheat with dried apples, butter roasted nuts and citrus peels, apple mead, and cut grass and moss with a satiny, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, complex, long granola, grain, and nougat finish. A spot on and delicious American Single Malt that delivers very Scotch-like flavors in a robust, American oak-forward style.
