Alberta Spirits Not Dampened By Floods 

Word out of badly flooded High River, Alberta is that despite some losses, the Fall schedule of new releases from Highwood Distillers is on track.  We are particularly excited about a new whisky called “Ninety,” which will be available in Canada only, in five and twenty-year-old versions.

Artisinal Milling & “Grain to Glass” Distilling in Ontario

Craft milling? You bet your bottom dollar! Some craft distillers in Ontario can tell you the actual field their grain was grown in. And working with a third-generation artisinal miller just north of Toronto they mill that grain to their own exact specifications. While they are not calling the resulting spirits “single farm” whiskies or grain spirits, they could. This attention to every detail is what the expression “grain to glass” is all about. The best part? The robust grain-rich flavour.
