Producer Description
"Introducing Meeting Creek No. 3, the latest release in our GrainHenge Whisky line—a small-batch, Alberta-crafted single malt with deep, roasted flavours and rich notes of caramel and chocolate. Following in the award-winning footsteps of its predecessors, Meeting Creek No. 1 and No. 2, which have each earned awards, this edition brings the same dedication to craft with a bold, refined character."
750 mlEvan's Tasting Note (Meeting Creek No. 3)
Nose: Chocolate, medium roast coffee grounds, toasted oak, banana, apricot, hazelnut, melted butter, and a flaky pie crust.
Palate: Nutella spread, Ovaltine, Juicy Fruit gum, waffles with maple syrup, blackberry jam, dark chocolate torte, nitro stout beer, and a touch of lactic sourness.
Finish: Dry, toasted and silky with a touch of molasses and coffee liqueur on the warming fade.
Comment: If you like your whisky on the toasty and malty side, this bottle is for you. Impressively balanced, even with the high strength.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: The nose is nutty, chocolate, caramel, and vanilla with a bit of dried fruit and cedar.
Palate: Vanilla and barrel notes start on the palate and are swirled in with the fruity and nutty malt character that finishes with the roasted malt flavours of chocolate and coffee.
GrainHenge Whisky resides in Red Deer, Alberta. It is right next to Troubled Monk Brewery, and is owned by the same people. There is a bit of crossover between the two entities, as can be seen in the malt choice for the whiskies below.
The name GrainHenge refers to the once heavily used Grain Elevators. Some still stand, but they are part of a bygone era; towering, monolithic wooden sheds that silently watch over nearby grain fields and silent train tracks. Many of these structures that have stood the test of time still dot the Alberta and Canadian prairies.
The Troubled Monk Brewery was started in 2013, and has been prominent in Alberta's burgeoning craft beer scene ever since. The Brewery added a 500 litre still in 2017, and began distilling vodka (under the name Adequate Vodka), gin (under the name Epitaph Gin), and laying new make spirit in casks that would eventually mature into whisky.
The Head Distiller for GrainHenge is Garrett Haynes, who is also Troubled Monk's Head Brewer.

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."
