DISTILLERY NOTES

Odd Society is launching a new, unique program specially designed for whisky lovers and anyone who wants to learn about whisky.

As a member, you will receive one 750 ml bottle of 46% abv single malt spirit/whisky every year for five years. Interestingly, and importantly, the whisky you receive each year is all from the same original batch. The idea is to follow the flavour maturation journey of a single whisky from new-make spirit to maturity.

We begin by distilling a large batch of new-make single malt whisky and filling a number of casks. You will receive a bottle of 46% fresh, new-make spirit. After one year, the spirit you receive will be one year old. After two years the spirit you receive will be two years old (still not technically whisky), year three, three years old and so on, until year five, when you receive a final bottle of five year old single malt whisky. The whisky is distilled from 100% BC-grown malted barley, aged in once-used American white oak casks. Each year, all the barrels are emptied, the spirit remarried in a tank, and returned to the same casks. Each year, the label will commemorate the whisky milestone.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

This is a fantastically unique and fun experiment, if you join the Five Year Whisky Club at Odd Society Spirits, you will receive a bottle of the spirit in each form every year, showing how it progresses and changes over the course of 5 years. The new make is bright and fresh, fruity apple and pear along with great grain profile, hints of minerality and a long finish. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
