Conviction Naranja Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Limited Release

Vino de Naranja, from Andalusia, Spain, is the “Orange Wine” fermented from grapes, macerated with the dried, bitter peels of Seville oranges, and aged in oak casks using the traditional Solera method. Southern Grace has filled Naranja casks with Conviction Straight Bourbon Whiskey, infusing it with the warm, citrus-sweet notes of the Mediterranean base spirit as they release from the wood, creating a perfect blend of the Old World and the New.

Conviction Naranja Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Limited Release Tasting Notes

Nose: The faint, sweet alcohol of fermented grapes mingled with dark chocolate and orange liqueur.

Palate: Opens withlight sweetness of white grapes and the balancing acidity of the Seville Orange peel complement brown sugar and caramel. Allspice and vanilla dominate the mid palate as the robust Conviction Bourbon spice profile asserts itself.

Finish: Candied oranges, dipped in dark chocolate are pervasive in the finish. With a buttery velvet mouthfeel, Conviction Naranja is lush and rich, creating a lingering flavor experience and a dynamic Draw that represents the entire flavor profile in one, quick breath, leaving the impression of Grand Marnier Creme Brulee or some such wonderful thing.

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.
