Amber Mountain is the third release so far from the Maligne Range Series. Like the Tekarra and Excelsior that preceded it, Amber Mountain also takes its name from a mountain in the Maligne Range, which is in Jasper National Park. The whisky is a blend of malted barley distilled at Calgary's Last Best and mature 100% unmalted rye whisky from an undisclosed Alberta Distillery. Hmm... Batch 01 was bottled on July 21st, 2024 and bottled at 46%.

750 ml Low StockEvan's Tasting Note
Nose: Grain-forward with both spicy Rye and rich malt coming together. Notes of caramel coated apples, cinnamon, dehydrated banana chips, ginger ale, and mulled cider.
Palate: Rye spice sings nicely up front, backed by the soft yet rich malt once more plus a touch of drying oak. Notes of sweet, honeyed cereals, cinnamon sugar doughnut twists, apple pie, hints of dried strawberry slices and ground peppercorns.
Finish: Soft, honeyed and smooth with tiny bursts of spice popping up here and there on the fade.
Comment: Rich and sweet, yet light on its feet. This a nicely balanced whisky that packs sweet, spice, fruit, and grain into a very drinkable package.
