Bottled at 43.5% in 500ml bottles that are individually numbered, this cool little blended whisky comes from the great folks at Bridgeland Distillery. This special 2023 release is a marriage of their Taber Corn Berbon and Glenbow Single Malt Whisky.
From The Producer
"Our Berbon and Single Malt are the building blocks of this blend. They have been distilled, barrelled and aged separately. This remarkable release showcases the potential of blended whisky to achieve depth of character with proper use of oak diversity: American, Hungarian and Bulgarian oak casks have been used in this blend."
500 mlProducer Tasting Note
"A vanilla bean, candied cherries and wine gum combination for the nose; The palate is complex with a great silky texture of rich toffee. The finish is anchored in Swiss chocolate, long and lasting!"
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.
