GrainHenge Forestburg No. 1
$109.99
From Troubled Monk
"The Spirit of Forestburg
Nestled amongst a rich agricultural landscape and the Battle River, sits the community of Forestburg, a community shaped by generations of agriculture, grit, and dedication to the prairie way of life.
For decades, grain elevators have watched our communities grow and evolve into what they are today, bearing witness to the harvests, relentless winters, and generations of friends, family and neighbours.
Our GrainHenge Forestburg whisky is the ode to the rural Alberta lifestyle and the grain elevator that has stood tall, affixed on the horizon, a timekeeper of stories of generations past. It’s made in small batches by folks whose attention to detail speaks for itself. The kind of people who don’t mind rolling up their sleeves, putting in the hours, and doing things the right way, even when no one’s watching. You can taste that kind of honesty. It shows up in carefully selected ingredients, in the way the barrels rest, and in the patience it takes to let a whisky become what it’s meant to be.
GrainHenge isn’t fussy. It isn’t trying to impress you with big speeches or fancy words. It’s just a damn good whisky built for people who work hard, take pride in what they do, and appreciate a moment that feels earned.
Pour it neat, sip it slow and let it remind you of where you come from, and where you’re headed next."

Armorik Yuen Elez Breton Single Malt
$99.99
From Warenghem Distillery in Brittany, France. The Armorik Yeun Elez Single Malt Breton Peated is a Peated Breton Single Malt Whisky (see how I changed the order of these words to make myself sound smart?), distilled from peated malted barley imported from Scotland with a spec of 50ppm. Sadly, we only managed to get 50ml bottles of this limited release, not the full size.

We offer you a peated variation of our Armorik single malt : we use Scottish 50 ppm peated malted barley, water from our own source and our artisanal know-how. Breton Single Malt whisky, it has been distilled and matured to highlights its delicate, elegant, and fruity peat."
Chateau R de Rieussec
$78.99
Classified as a First Growth in 1855. Rieussec is one of the biggest estates of Sauternes with 227 acres of vines, situated on the “communes” of Sauternes and Fargues, high above the Garonne River, in a small area where the cold Autumn dawns help form the famous mist. It is this mist which many believe plays a major role in the development of botrytis cinerea (noble rot). In the 18th century, the Rieussec estate belonged to the Carmes de Langon monks. Sold as a “national inheritance” after the French Revolution, Rieussec experienced several changes of owners before being acquired by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1984. Since then, meticulous plot selection and important innovative methods have been used in the cellars to enhance quality.

Producer Description
"This release is batch #3 of our unique 40-year-old blend, laid down to marry in 1998 in refill sherry butts and finished in ex-Islay Quarter casks. A sip carries you down a golden beach in Rio, where the smoky aroma of grilled meats drifts from nearby barbecues. Juicy bursts of mango, pineapple and citrus roll across the palate, layered with soft vanilla and toasted coconut. The gentle smoke adds a savoury edge, grounding the tropical sweetness with a touch of fire and spice. It feels like a slow afternoon in the sun, where every flavour is intense and time seems to pause. "
