“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.”
Pivot Spirits Spelt Whisky
$116.99
Ever had a whisky made from the ancient grain Spelt? Now is your chance! This cool whisky comes from Pivot Spirits, with grain grown on nearby fields. Bottled at 46% ABV.
Producer Description
"Lars mashed this ancient grain with the hull on.

This rare grain distillation is distinct and special, making it a welcome addition to any whisky enthusiast's cabinet."
About Pivot Spirits
Pivot Spirits was founded in 2018 and resides in Rolling Hills, Alberta — about a 30-minute drive south of Brooks. If you zoom in on Rolling Hills from a satellite image on Google Maps you will see where the name Pivot Spirits comes from: all the fields in the area have the tell-tail rounded and circular shape of pivot irrigation. The distillery is co-owned by Lars Hirsch and Rachelle Fiset. Lars is an irrigation farmer with fields just across the roads from the distillery and the distiller as well. Just about all the grain used at Pivot Spirits uses for making Whisky, Gin, and other spirits comes from his fields. The only exception to this is when Lars uses corn, which he gets from his neighbours. Pivot Spirits does not malt or roast any of the grains it uses — it comes directly from the field, is ground down, and made into a mash.
Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year
$37.99
A new Rye from Alberta Distillers! With no press release or information or web page on the bottle to be found. What we can tell you is that it carries a stated age of 9 Years Old, and is made from 100% Rye Grain. Oh, and it is bottled at 45% ABV.
The back label does mention three barrel types used, but does not specify which types. It is from ADL, so the liquid should be good. Plus, the price is very reasonable if the quality is there.
If only this small, plucky Calgary Distillery was owned by a large spirits conglomerate that could afford to throw some money into marketing and entice us on what makes this bottle special... Sure, the same company owns a distillery on Islay that pointlessly co-brands some of their high-end single malts with a luxury car brand because they don't see the whisky as premium enough to sell on its own. That is just fine, but throwing a bit of a spotlight on one of the best rye distilleries in the world would be a bridge too far!
Stillhead Bartender's Rye Whisky
$69.99
From Vancouver Island's Stillhead Distillery, which is making some of the best rye whisky in Canada! Bottled at 46%, the Bartender's Rye is made from 100% BC-grown Rye grain and matured in American oak casks.
Anohka Progress Report Single Mal
$44.99
The first-ever whisky release from Alberta's Anohka Distillery, Progress Report is not where they intend to be, but it is where they are starting. 48.5%.
Producer Description
"Our very first single malt whisky! Among the first whiskies made at Anohka Distillery, this whisky was created early as we refined our mashing fermentation and distillation. That refinement took time, so our progress report releases our singular moments, never to be repeated, showcasing our evolution. This limited release marks our first whisky to reach 3 years.

Alberta Distillers Rare Batch No.2 21 Yr
$151.99
This 21 year old Alberta Distillers Rye was matured in a mix of ex-Canadian, ex-Bourbon, and New White Oak Casks. 50%
Producer Description
"For over two decades in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, three barrel styles have influenced the aging of Alberta Distiller’s second rare Canadian whisky release. Canadian Whisky, Bourbon Whisky, and New White Oak barrels aged Rare Batch Issue No.2 laying down in a rack style, promoting greater air flow around the barrels at a higher elevation. This traditional maturation process influenced several flavour profiles in combination with the dry air and chinook winds of the foothills."
