DISTILLERY NOTES

Aged for 3 years in ex port and cognac casks gives sweet port wine aromas of sultanas, strawberries and baking spice, with hints of black pepper, vanilla and a whisp of smoke. Salted toffee, apricot and cereal appear on the palate, then transition into notes of smoked beef jerky with a long, lingering salt and pepper finish.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

While relatively new on the spirit scene, Indigenous Spirits laid down whisky in 2017 and really shocked me when it rolled out. Still a relatively unknown distillery and when they released their single malt, they didn't mess around either. Aged in ex cognac and port barrels, this is a very unique whisky release for BC. The dry baking spice from the cognac barrels is complimented by the sticky sweetness of the port, a complex mix of vanilla, stonefruit and butterscotch.
