Producer Description
"A homegrown Alberta barley whisky that narrates the story of Southern Alberta agriculture, finished in a Haskap wine barrel from Little Gem Winery in Nobleford, Alberta.

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.

Together they farm 35 hectares in the heart of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine.
Luneau Papin, formerly known as Domaine Pierre de la Grange before Pierre Luneau married Monique Papin of Domaine Papin and combinedthe two estates, has been in existence since the early 18th century, growing Melon since day one. They remain one of the most revered names in the Loire Valley. Who else in Muscadet can boast of a 99 point wine?
Paul Thomas Sancerre Silex
$57.79
Just east of Sancerre is the village of Chavignol, home of Domaine Paul Thomas. It is a small estate on the slopes of the Les Mont Damnés, from which they produce beautiful wines from the deepest, purest outcropping of Kimmeridgean limestone in Chavignol. Their vineyards are located on the south-facing slopes of a steep hill, and at harvest, each basket of grapes must be carried by hand down the steep paths. The end result is worth the hard work, however, as the vineyards yield wines with remarkable concentration and purity. The winery’s particular specialty is their Sancerre Blanc “Les Comtesses,” a 1.5-hectare monopole within Les Mont Damnés.

Fromthe Brewery
"We’re always moving forward, even if it’s just to circle back. Since nostalgia could be the only thing that isn’t in short supply right now we though we might kick this IPA back to 2012. Malty, bold, and bitter just like we used to like ‘em."
