First, B-Word Bourbon Style Whisky will be back in stock beginning Friday December 12th. Getting BC grown hard corn has been a challenge so this batch is quite small at 370 bottles. Batch 4 a four-grain bourbon style and is a vatting of four casks: European oak–aged corn whisky, and American oak–aged rye, wheat, and malted barley. I took a uniquely Canadian approach to this bourbon style: rather than creating a mash bill and fermenting all the grains together, we mashed, distilled, and aged each grain separately. This allowed for more versatility when blending. The final whisky is 60% corn, 30% rye, 5% wheat, and 5% malt. The standard bottle strength is 46%, but if you are looking for something a little more high proof, we bottled a limited amount (147 bottles) of cask strength B-word at 62.5%. I don’t expect either whisky to last long, and we won’t have any more for a year, so  if corn whisky is your fav, stock up while you can!

Second, we have one last new release for 2025. Islay Cask Rye Whisky is a brand new product, and was aged entirely in ex-Islay Scotch Whisky barrels from a distillery that rhymes with shmar bag. Bottled at 50% ABV, this whisky is a first as far as we can find, as we don’t think anyone in the world has been crazy enough to age 100% Rye Whisky full maturation in peated whisky barrels! Expect notes of vanilla, campfire, cloves, cinnamon, dill, and a even a bit of salty sea spray. This is a must try for any fan of rye whisky or peated whisky, and even if you don’t like peated whisky yet, this might be your gateway to the category.
