Andrew' Tasting Note
Nose: doughy, a hint of orange cheddar, creamy with clotted cream and light strawberry jam; gently toasted oak, a hint of dill and light sugars; becomes spicier with cardamom and cinnamon hearts.
Palate: very rich and fruity, lots of layers, a bit of heat but not as sharp as expected for the strength and age; massive cinnamon hearts, more strawberry jam layered on top of clotted cream on a dry English scone; very honeyed and sugary, the spices take over the back end: candied fennel and Black Licorice Twizzlers; burnt Demerara sugars and oily earthy tones.
Finish: light, fresh, sweet and coating; medium in length it dries as it fades.
Comment: very different from the Inaugural Run, the rye component and French oak have really spiced things up; it is very decadent and smooth, an appropriately Christmassy release.
About Shelter Point (In their own words): "Shelter Point Distillery is, and always will be, an artisanal distillery. Right from the start, the concept has been quality over quantity, coexisting with nature and sourcing locally. This local-first philosophy extends beyond just building materials. In fact, Shelter Point is one of only a handful of distilleries that grow their own barley and distill on the same site. Virtually the only things that aren’t local are our oak barrels, which were sourced from Kentucky bourbon distillers, and the massive copper pot stills which came from Scotland. As far as our methodology goes, well, when you wait five years for a whisky to mature, you can’t help but learn to be patient. As a result, nothing is particularly hurried here. We took our time to get the distillery right, and we’re doing the same with everything else."

Forty Creek Heritage Edition
$75.99
Limit 1 per Customer
Made from a mashbill of corn, rye and barley, it is similar in style to the long lost Forty Creek Three Grain. It is finished in toasted rather than charred oak. We are only expecting a dozen bottles, so we are limiting them to 1 per customer.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: fruity and rich with rye and ginger herbal notes below the surface.
Palate: noted of malted cereal accented with vanilla and cocoal, followed by hints of almond and coconut. It's creamy, yet balanced with spicy flares of pepper and ginger.
Finish: very long, with soft oak tannins and espresso notes.
Producer Description: "Forty Creek Heritage was built as a tribute to our first ever, most sought after release. Our Master Blender, Bill Ashburn, personally handpicked only the highest-quality barrels of corn, rye and barley whiskies, combining them into a smooth, yet complex liquid. We finished Heritage in toasted American Oak, instead of the traditional charred oak, pulling out more vanilla flavours and highlighting the bolder spices of the wood.
Masterson's 10 Year Straight Rye
$126.99
As with other Rye WhiskEy bottled by Masterson's - this is actually a Rye WhisKY - originally distilled at Alberta Distillers right here in Calgary but then eventually sold and bottled by another company in the USA. This is a 10-year-old Rye finished in Hungarian Oak Casks.
Evan's Tasting Note:
Nose: Dill, pickle juice, dusty Rye grain, cloves, pine sap, lime zest, jujubes, fresh out of the garden carrots, mint leaves and other herbaceous notes with a hint of turpentine.
Palate: Juicy with mint, limes, black pepper, lemon juice, assorted jelly beans, pineapple, dill and eucalyptus.
Finish: Soft spice notes but it remains juicy and approachable in style.
Comments: The Hungarian Oak finish isn't just a gimmick - it does create a set of different nuances I didn't notice in the regular 10 year Masterson's Rye.
Orphan Barrel Entrapment
$204.99
This is the 11th release in the Orphan barrel series, but the first to be made of Canadian whisky. It is from a mash of 97% corn and 3% malted barley. If you were ever wondering how much-malted barley you need to ferment a mash of mostly corn, now you know. The whisky is from Crown Royal's distillery in Gimli Manitoba. It was bottled at 41% after maturing 25 years in American oak.
