Conviction Founder’s Reserve Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey(2) Bottle Bundle Tasting Notes

Nose: Black currants and raisins. Relative to its proof point, the alcohol is faint and tempered by wet oak and mild smoke, and the full-on sweetness of demerara sugar.

Palate: Opens with vanilla and honey syrup. Mid palate isrich, sticky baking spices. Allspice and clove mingle with the proof to create a rising, gentle warmth.

Finish: The now-familiar Conviction black pepper pinch plays off of the vanilla and demerara syrup that reassert reminiscent of the nose. The late finish and draw are dominated by the warmth of big proof playing against an undercurrent of brown sugar. The mouthfeel and rising warmth give the sensation of a melting buttermint: coating, lingering and almost cooling.

Distillery Information

Southern Grace Distilleries was founded on the simple yet strongly held belief that a group of friends, through tireless effort and a relentless commitment to quality, could make world-class whiskeys in the great Southern tradition.Southern Grace was founded in 2014 in Concord, North Carolina. The distillery, originally housed in the Historic Warren Coleman Mill on Main Street, moved into an abandoned State prison in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, over the Labor Day weekend in 2016 in order to expand production to include Bourbon. Southern Grace converted the 1929 prison dorm and the solitary confinement “Hot Box” into barrel houses where nationally awarded Conviction Straight Bourbon Whiskey is aged. Named The Best Bourbon in America at the 2019 New Orleans Bourbon Festival, Conviction goes from grain to glass entirely on the Southern Grace property. The Cabarrus Correctional Center first opened its doors in 1929 as a minimum-security facility. Conviction Bourbon now ages in the original 1929 Dormitory. A second dorm was added in 1987, to alleviate overcrowding. This building is the main production facility for Southern Grace, housing Fermentation, Distillation, Bottling, and the Cask Finishing Room. The Mount Pleasant Prison housed inmates until the prison shut down in 2011. While the prison sat empty, it was used several times by the US Army Special Forces for Robin Sage exercises.
