This Canadian whisky, sourced from Highwood Distillery in High River, Alberta. It was originally only for export to Taiwan. This is the second bottling of the whisky, bottled at 46% abv. It is believed to be made from 100% corn.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: doughy and soft, the nose is not as bright as the 17 year, but it is deeper and more balanced; it screams corn...: corn syrup, corn meal, corn bread and caramel corn; loads of caramel, floral like the 17 year but with thicker vanilla.
Palate: round and fruity, deeper and darker than the original bottling, more caramel, and richer fruits: raisin, candy-apple, juicy orange and some tart pineapple; smooth and elegant the whisky is soft and layered; there is a floral side to it too, but it is held back by the oak; still dominated by the sweet corn notes.
Finish: long, sweet and fruity; fading caramel, oak spices and floral tones; the floral elements flourish on the finish.
Comment: this is softer, fruitier and even more drinkable than the original release; elegant and layered!

Producer Description
"This totally unique Whisky is our first release. We handcraft it in limited quantities starting with a superb legacy whisky from the old Potter’s distillery in Kelowna B.C. We then custom finish in vintage Solera casks and finally blend at high proof without colouring or chill filtering to yield a taste and character unlike anything else on the market."
