Bottled at 46.1%, this Sherry Cask-Finished bottling of Wild Life's Single Malt Whisky is 4 years old in total. It was first matured in ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished in ex-PX Sherry casks.
Producer Description
“This whisky was proudly milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, aged and bottled by Wild Life Distillery, in Canmore, Alberta. Aged for a minimum of 4 years, and finished in PX Sherry Casks, this liquid gold is made to be enjoyed with friends.
Matt & Keith sourced liquid dessert (aka PX sherry Hogshead casks) from a traditional Spanish Bodega in 2023. We utilized these beautiful casks to finish a few barrels of Wild Life single malt whisky. The resulting spirit is a wonderful expression of sherry-finished whisky: chewy dried figs, chocolate covered raisins, rounded malty notes, fruit leather and soft French oak on the finish.”
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Chocolate Covered Raisins, Chewy Dried Figs, Caramelized Brown Sugar.
Palate: Baking Spice, Raisin Bran, Rounded Malty Notes.
Finish: Lovely Texture and Length, Fruit Leather, Soft Blend of French and American Oak.

Bottled at 45.9%, This whisky from Wild Life is made with 88% Rye and 12% Malted Barley and matured for at least 3.5 years.
Producer Description
"Rye is the quintessential Canadian Whisky grain. This flavour forward grain is often hidden and underrepresented in the big brand rye whiskies on the market. Wild Life Rye Whisky on the other hand, does not shy away from flavour. This spirit shows wonderful notes of nutmeg, fig, green grass and spice notes. This is Alberta Craft Whisky at its finest, and we are pleased to share it with you!"
