Roper's Hold is a Blended Whisky produced by our friends at True Wild, a new Distillery and Restaurant in Calgary. It will be 2030 before they have a whisky of their own, but in the interim they have sourced whiskies to bottle, giving an indication of where they are going as a producer.

Producer Description
"Roper’s Hold is a celebration of artistry in spirits. Similar to painting, the aging and blending of these collected whiskies is what makes each of them desirable as a unique expression of the spirit and cask. Each blend’s ephemeral existence further amplifies its appeal. No matter who you are, you must get it while you can. For every label in this brand, nothing will ever be like it again. Compelling. Distinct. Creative. Complex."

An Eau Claire whisky dedicated to/inspired by 'the greatest outdoor show on earth.' I kinda thought that was Andrew mowing the lawn without a shirt on, but hey... what do I know?
Eau Claire has called this whisky their 'nod to our western heritage.' Easy-drinking on its own, versatile enough to mix, and just a bit 'rugged' (their word). Neat little whisky.

Producer Description
"A true cowboy-forward whisky with a spicy rye kick. Stampede Rye Whisky is made from the finest ingredients – glacier-fed water, Alberta-grown rye, finished in oak barrels – and inspired by the world’s greatest celebration of the West, the Calgary Stampede. True to ranch life, Stampede Whisky is a no-nonsense easy-sipper you can always depend on."

A new Rye from Alberta Distillers! With no press release or information or web page on the bottle to be found. What we can tell you is that it carries a stated age of 9 Years Old, and is made from 100% Rye Grain. Oh, and it is bottled at 45% ABV.
The back label does mention three barrel types used, but does not specify which types. It is from ADL, so the liquid should be good. Plus, the price is very reasonable if the quality is there.
If only this small, plucky Calgary Distillery was owned by a large spirits conglomerate that could afford to throw some money into marketing and entice us on what makes this bottle special... Sure, the same company owns a distillery on Islay that pointlessly co-brands some of their high-end single malts with a luxury car brand because they don't see the whisky as premium enough to sell on its own. That is just fine, but throwing a bit of a spotlight on one of the best rye distilleries in the world would be a bridge too far!

Producer Description
"Smooth, rich, and quietly complex. Up front, you get classic notes of caramel and vanilla, backed by a corn sweetness and a touch of oak. There’s a soft spice from the rye, layered cinnamon and orange peel, with just enough pepper to give it a little edge."
