"Coming from a single distillery via a single malt house, sourced from a single field of a single farm.This barley comes from field NE4-37-27-W4M at Hamill farm and has been malted at Red Shed Malting in Penhold, Alberta. Bow Glacier Water, premium ingredients married with our passion is where this whisky begins." - Bridgeland Distillery website.
Small batch and artisanal, just as we like 'em. 45.5%
500 mlProducer Tasting Note
Dried fruits, honey, cloves and freshly cooked brioche on the nose. Creamy mouthfeel initially hit the tongue. Delicate lightly roasted barley is tasted first and reveals soft vanilla cream, nutmeg and pleasant subtle pepper spiciness. The spice peaks and falls to a clean finish, warm and pleasant.
Bridgeland Distillery — Calgary, Alberta
Bridgeland Distillery was founded in 2018 and resides right within — get this — Bridgeland in Calgary, Alberta. If you are looking to go there — and I suggest you do — it is on the corner located on the corner of Marsh Road and Edmonton Trail; just a few blocks North of the Bow River and Memorial Drive.
The Distillery is owned by Daniel Plenzik and Jacques Tremblay and produces a wide variety of spirits distilled from grain and also grapes. One of the things that sets Bridgeland apart is the reuse of different casks that have matured their own brandies and whiskies to add character to other aging spirits. For example: reusing casks that previously mature their brandy to then mature or finish some of their whiskies.
There is plenty to recommend from Bridgeland Distillery. A good place to start would be with their Single Blend; which is an in-house blend that combines a variety of their whisky styles that gets limited releases each year.
Bridgeland's releases are updated regularly as the distillery and their casks continue to mature.

The second release of GranHenge's Elevator Row New World Single Malt Whisky is bottled at 48.2% ABV after 6 years maturing in #2 and #4 char virgin oak casks. It is made from a mash bill containing 2 row barley malted to a Dark Munich style - the same malt spec that is used for Troubled Monk Distillery's Pesky Pig Pale Ale.
Producer Description
"Elevator Row’s flavour profile is informed from the malty backbone of our pale ale, Pesky Pig, named after the same little piggy that never went to market. This 43 month old, cask strength whisky lets the speciality malt of Pesky Pig rise to fame and shine. When head distiller, Garret Haynes, rewrote this recipe for distillation, he used Pesky Pig’s mash bill for inspiration, tripling the speciality dark munich malt so notes of golden raisin, and dried fruits would sing in the finished spirit."
