RELEASE #8 - Homemade Apricot upside down cake

Named after your aunt’s favourite dessert to bring to holiday celebrations, this whisky is fruit-forward and perfect for sipping. The blend boasts the highest malt bill we’ve included in our whisky to date, clocking in at 21% malt and 79% rye. It was aged in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in our own amaretto casks. The apricot and vanilla from the amaretto highlights notes of orchard flowers, marmalade, and fruit leather on the nose, complemented by toasted oak and forest moss. The palate delivers late-spring honey and crushed cloves, finishing with chimney brick and sugar cookie dough.

RELEASE #7 - RAIDING NONNA’S LIQUOR CABINET

Silver Medal - Canadian Whisky Awards 2024

An ode to our favourite Italian bitter liqueurs, this is a blend of 86% rye, 9% malt, and 5% wheat whiskies, finished in ex-amaro barrels after spending 3 - 5 years in ex-bourbon and used American oak barrels. With flavours similar to that of a boulevardier cocktail, the nose holds notes of candied grapefruit, pine needles, and eucalyptus, with the palate providing lots of juicy orange, charred oak, crisp tonic water, and freshly peeled citrus zest. We recommend enjoying a healthy pour over a large ice cube – preferably while relaxing on a patio in the Sicilian countryside.

RELEASE #6 - DESERT GRASS AND BLUE AGAVE

Gold Medal - Canadian Whisky Awards 2024

This whisky will make you feel like you’re sipping a glass in a Mexican cantina. A select blend of 100% rye aged in ex-bourbon barrels, boasting notes of dry grass and bold rye spice. It was then finished in 3 separate mezcal barrels – añejo tequila, reposado tequila, and smoky Oaxacan mezcal. The nose is met with desert grass and green herbs of eucalyptus and spearmint, followed by toasted corn husk, sweet maize, and tanned leather. On the palate, coriander seeds and sage leaf are followed by savory hints of slow-roasted meats, olive brine, and pink rock salt. A truly unique expression of rye that might just have you reaching for a slice of lime.
