Eau Claire Stampede Rye
$42.99
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

Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year
$37.99
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!
Field House Superdelic Loral Cold IPA
$5.99
From the Brewery;
"This crisp and refreshing cold IPA is full of flavour with a lager like profile. Its bright, juicy character comes from the combined Superdelic and Loral hops, finishing with a mix of citrus and floral aromas.
