Bottled at 46% ABV, Release 19 of the Two Brewers Single Malt Whisky is a return to peat from our favourite brewer and distillery out of Whitehorse, Yukon.
About Two Brewers
"Yukon Brewing was formed by Bob Baxter and Alan Hansen in 1997, the result of a canoe trip conversation taken well beyond the campfire. After years of building a successful local craft brewery, they decided to expand into spirits and in 2009 invested in a small pot still. Hence came the birth of Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky; made in small batches, with a variety of malted and roasted grains, using different fermentation techniques and a mix of barrels. The goal is that no two releases will be the same, so that as each expression emerges, it is layered and unique."
750 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: firm but yielding earthy peat-smoke and bads of soft fruits: white fruits and citrus; French vanilla and toasted coconut; juicy malt and decadent barley sugars; peanut butter and almond brittle.
Palate: firm but yielding like the nose; at first ashy and a touch muddy the smoke builds in intensity developing a clean edge; more juicy malt and toasted oak tones: vanilla extract and toasted coconut; underneath peaches, dried apple slices and under-ripe pears; late Montreal steak spice and slightly medicinal tones.
Finish: long, coating, creamy and juicy with firm elegant smoke; floral, elegant all encompassing smoke.
Comments: the smoke is intense, dominant and lasting; while easily the most dominant characteristic it is distinctly not an Islay-style peated whisky; there is something about adding peat in to the mix which adds a depth not always found in young single malt; lovely stuff!
Notes From The Producer
"Indistinct malt tones are veiled in the dusty haze of smoky embers. Notes of sweet ripe stone fruit swell across the tongue. Smoky resins entrained as the dram rolls back engorge the palate, as the rich malt fruit reaches out of the smouldering finish."
