Sons of Vancouver Wheated Rye Whisky

Pivot Spirits Triticale Whisky

$87.99

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.

Stillhead Garry Oak Rye Whisky

$119.99

From our friend Brennan at the Stillhead Distillery on Vancouver Island, this is Batch 2 of his Garry Oak matured Rye Whisky. 50% ABV.

Producer Description

"The second edition is a blend of three casks: one aged entirely in refill Garry Oak, and two casks aged for three years in Char #2 new American oak before being transferred to once-used, Oregon-sourced Garry Oak casks for an additional two years. Expect big tasting notes of molasses, baking spices, dark honey, cola, cocoa and coffee."

Stillhead Sherry Cask Rye Whisky 50%

$87.99

100% BC Rye whisky initially matured in virgin oak and finished in PX Sherry casks. 50%

Producer Description

"First this 100% B.C. rye grain whisky spent its first few years in new American oak casks. Second, and only once the whisky is already matured, it is transferred to once used Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. These freshly emptied casks are shipped directly from Spain. They come with a complimentary few litres of Sherry wine. Not only is this wine an assurance of cask quality, but we enjoy using it in our lounge cocktails! Finally, we taste the whisky in the casks, only bottling once we’ve achieved the flavour we are looking for."
