- 7 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Producer Description
"“None for Granted” is my way of paying homage to the founding flavors that made modern American Whiskey.
Chapter 9 takes us back several decades, to an era when whiskey as we know it was just finding its feet. As possibilities were explored and foundations were laid, a certain profile began to emerge: one built on brown sweets, the comforting warmth of vanilla, creamy caramel and big oak.
“None for Granted” celebrates these founding flavors: the ones that are still the backbone of American Whiskey today.
After experimenting with several blends, we landed the profile. Five unique whiskeys blended into a viscous, golden liquid. Each pass of the nose and every sip brings out another layer: Ripe apple. Butterscotch. Baking spice. And plenty others you’ll discover for yourself.
I and countless others wouldn’t be making the whiskey we’re making without the flavors captured in Chapter 9 – the profile pioneered at the start of modern American Whiskey. It’s worth revisiting time and again, never to be taken for granted."
True Wild Roper's Hold 6 Year Bourbon
$91.99
Joining True Wild Distillery's Roper's Hold staple of Canadian Whiskies is a... Bourbon?!?
That's right. This 6 year old Bourbon Whiskey was originally distilled at the historic Barton Distillery, which resides just outside of Bardstown, Kentucky. It has been finished in new toasted oak casks and bottled at 50%. And I believe it is only available in Alberta.
True Wild Distillery & Restaurant is located in Calgary, Alberta. The Roper's Hold Whisky series consists of casks sourced from other Canadian (and now American) distilleries, which have been finished in different casks and then are released in small batches.
Angel's Envy 10 Year Cask Strength
$249.99
The Angel's Envy Cask Strength 10 Year is the first age statement Bourbon we've seen from the distillery. It was finished up to 14 months in port casks before bottling at 61.3%.
High West Bourye Limited Edition
$139.99
Notes from the Bottle.
" Legend has it, the only way to catch a glimpse of the cunning and elusive jackalope is to enjoy a glass of a truly incredible whiskey, That’s why we made Bourye, a cross between bourbon whiskey and rye whisky (Bourbon + Rye = Bourye) that – like the jackalope itself – is unique, mysterious and gone in a flash. All whiskeys in this carefully crafted , limited – release blend are a minimum of ten years old. Overflowing with rich flavours of orange crème anglaise drizzled over dark chocolate ginger cake, with notes of espresso on the finish. Bourye is sure to attract event the most discerning of jacklopes.”

Angel's Envy Bourbon
$81.99
Angel's Envy Bourbon is finished in Port Casks before being bottled at 43.3%.
Producer Description
“Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in port wine casks for an award-winning spirit. We guide each batch’s conditioning, blending our handcrafted bourbon in small batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time. It’s typically aged for up to 6 years. While we lose about 5% of the spirit each year to evaporation, or “the Angel’s Share,” what’s left behind after we’re done is truly worthy of envy.
Once it’s deemed ready, we finish our bourbon in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavor nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. Our port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste. We use 60-gallon ruby port barrels made from French oak and imported directly from Portugal. This creates a whiskey of unprecedented smoothness, sweetness and balance.”
Elijah Craig Toasted Rye
$66.99
From the distillery;
"In this expression, we imbue our award-winning Straight Rye Whiskey with even more flavor. Once fully matured, we finish Toasted Rye in a second, custom-toasted new oak barrel; adding a balanced layer of sweet oak complexity.
THE RYE MASHBILL
While the finishing process for Toasted Rye
is similar to our Toasted Barrel Bourbon, the
difference lies in the mashbill. It’s 51% rye grain
instead of corn: the legal requirement for this
style of American Whiskey.

Canadian Club 100% Rye
$28.99
Although bottled under the Canadian Club moniker, the 100% Rye is made right here in Calgary, Alberta by the legendary Alberta Distillers or ADL. 40%.
Producer Description
"This is a whisky made for those who love rye. It was created in the heart of Alberta’s unforgiving rye country, by a team who have spent the last 60 years mastering the art of distilling with rye. This whisky is truly unique and deliciously distinct, with caramel and oak notes up front, followed by a spicy finish. It’s so good, you’ll want to sip it neat. And so versatile, you’ll want to use it in all rye-forward classic cocktails."
Great Plains 18 Year Jerez Brandy Finish
$119.99
A curious new Canadian whisky made from a Corn/Rye Whisky sourced from the Potters Distillery in Kelowna. It was matured 17 years in ex-Bourbon and finished in 15 months in Jerez Brandy barrels from Osborne (Andalusia, Spain). Bottled at 54.5%, the spirit was made from a mashbill of 91.5% corn and 8.5% rye.
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."
