Made from Triticale grown in Lars' own fields! Lars is the proprieter of Pivot spirits, and produces most of the whisky he makes from very own grain. Bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Triticale is the result of crossing wheat and rye. We appreciate the impressive yields that the latest Triticale varieties deliver on our irrigation farm. What's even more delightful is the unique flavors that Triticale imparts to our whisky! The sweetness of wheat and the spiciness of rye are beautifully complemented by smooth tones of honey, fruit, and vanilla."
About Pivot Spirits
Pivot Spirits was founded in 2018 and resides in Rolling Hills, Alberta — about a 30-minute drive south of Brooks. If you zoom in on Rolling Hills from a satellite image on Google Maps you will see where the name Pivot Spirits comes from: all the fields in the area have the tell-tail rounded and circular shape of pivot irrigation. The distillery is co-owned by Lars Hirsch and Rachelle Fiset. Lars is an irrigation farmer with fields just across the roads from the distillery and the distiller as well. Just about all the grain used at Pivot Spirits uses for making Whisky, Gin, and other spirits comes from his fields. The only exception to this is when Lars uses corn, which he gets from his neighbours. Pivot Spirits does not malt or roast any of the grains it uses — it comes directly from the field, is ground down, and made into a mash.

This Bourbon-style whisky is made in Rolling Hills, Alberta by Pivot Spirits. It is produced from a mash of locally grown Corn, Rye, Barley, and Wheat. Bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Corn, rye, barley, and soft white wheat are grains extensively utilized in the expansive value-added cattle industry in Southern Alberta, culminating in the production of our renowned Alberta Beef. Lars combined these four grains in a mash-bill, yielding his favourite whisky—a sweet, buttery sipping experience with subtle hints of oak and brown sugar."

Made with unmalted barley grown in Lars' fields! Lars is the operator of pivot spirits. This whisky finished in casks that previously held Haskap Fruit Wine. Bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"A homegrown Alberta barley whisky that narrates the story of Southern Alberta agriculture, finished in a Haskap wine barrel from Little Gem Winery in Nobleford, Alberta. This whisky boasts a silky texture and a complex, savory flavor profile. It's truly remarkable what two farmers who ventured into the spirits world can accomplish!"
