Producer Description
"Baldur’s Release No.006 is a bold yet gracefully composed expression of our signature wheated-rye whisky. An evolving series that celebrates the character, craftsmanship, and curiosity at the heart of Last Mountain Distillery. Produced in small batches and matured with patience, this release reflects the delicate balance that occurs when soft prairie wheat meets the spirited intensity of Canadian rye."
750 ml Low StockFrom the very first pour, No.006 draws you in with a warm, welcoming nose. Aromas of golden honey, fresh-baked bread, and subtle orchard fruit rise from the glass, hinting at the layers to come. As the whisky opens, gentle notes of vanilla cream, light caramel, and toasted grain add depth and a touch of sweetness.
On the palate, the wheated mash bill truly shines. The typically robust spice of rye is elegantly softened by wheat, creating a smooth and rounded mouthfeel. Flavours unfold in deliberate layers - vanilla, baking spice, and a touch of pear, supported by well-integrated toasted oak from its time in barrel. Each sip carries a refined balance of warmth and sweetness, delivering a character that is both approachable for new whisky drinkers and rewarding for seasoned enthusiasts.
The finish is silky, lingering, and refined, with delicate echoes of oak, gentle spice, and a whisper of honey that invite another taste. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or as the centerpiece of an elevated whisky cocktail, Baldur’s Release No.006 is crafted to be savored.
