DISTILLERY NOTES

This is a 90% Rye, 5% Wheat, and 5% Barley whisky aged in used Westland Peated Malt Whisky Barrel. The Rye was our first barrel we ever put away and was fermented with rum yeast. We wanted fruity notes to lend themselves to the rye spice. The rye was aged for 5 years, to balance this release we blended it with the 3 year old wheat and barley malt to drive it home.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Well never in my wildest dreams did I think I would make it to this milestone of 300 Spirit a Days but here we are. I have been so fortunate to taste so many amazing spirits from across this amazing province. I want to thank everyone for the support over the last 2 years and can't wait to keep pushing the envelope of local spirit knowledge. The Sons of Vancouver brand new, not yet released whisky is nothing short of one of the best whiskies in BC. Rich rye is balanced with hints of soft smoke, a tropical fruitiness and a big burst of complex oak and vanilla bean. This is a must have when it becomes available.
