Macaloney`s Kildara
$101.99
This island whisky is from our triple distilled single potstill range – triple distilled using only the best unmalted and malted barley available. The patient, yet purposeful, triple distillation produces a complex, layered and balanced new-make spirit. Dr. Swan described our original new-make which trickles off our copper pot stills as “the best that I have tasted in any distillery at this stage, super fruity.” This triple-distillate is even smoother and fruitier!
Kildara, our Whiskymaker’s Signature Expression, was married from a select combination of Kentucky Bourbon, Spanish Oloroso, virgin American, and Spanish Pedro Ximénez (PX) casks. The result is a full bodied, triple distilled single potstill, island whisky with pronounced Oloroso and PX notes including dried fruit cake, vanilla crème laced with cinnamon, demerara sugar, and old seasoned leather notes. Abundant tropical fruits include candied orange, dried apricot, figs, ripe blackberries, blackcurrant jam, dried raisins and roasted nuts. The complexity continues with barley, malt and dried hay, butterscotch, milk chocolate, light tobacco and ocean breeze.
The palate is velvety-soft, resplendent with full bodied Sherry and tropical fruit. Oatmeal develops to oak spices, coffee, dark chocolate orange, nectarines, stewed plums, blackcurrant, red currant and sultanas, coming together as sweet dark fruitcake and honey. The finish presents dried fruit with a hint of salt and dulse, lingering oak and more Sherry, ending with hazelnut and almond raspberry pie with a drizzle of dark chocolate.

Revel Peas In A Pod
$26.99
From the Producer;
"Cider with blackcurrants, Cabernet Franc and De Chaunac.
Peas in a Pod is our very first time fermenting blackcurrants. They're a funny, delightful fruit, straddling the line between grapes, cherries and vanilla. Folks (including us) have used currants to describe Cab Franc wines—so of course we thought 'let's blend these things together'.
It was the right call.

Revel Chambarine
$19.99
From the Producer;
"A collaboration with our friends, the Grape Witches.
The best ideas, like the best friendships, are often easy.
I've been friends with the Grape Witches for the better part of a decade now, so when they asked to come blend with me, of course I said yes.
Chambarine feels like it encapsulates the pure joy that is hanging with them: the giggle of plump nectarines, the wit of tart apples, and the resilience of a (new-to-us) hybrid grape—Chambourcin."
Blindman Five of Diamonds 15-pack
$39.99
From the Brewery;
"A crisp pils that's about as light as can be and crushable as you want. Lightly citrusy with crackery, white bready malts and a mellow finish."

Annex Forward Progress
$20.69
rom the Brewery
"An aroma-forward Pale Ale, hopped with Citra and Mosaic varietals. It’s our take on the classic North American Pale Ale, with a hoppy bouquet and a long, harmonious finish: progressive, sessionable, and full of flavour.

Jibiru Salted Yuzu Pilsner
$4.39
From the Brewery
"Japan’s most iconic citrus fruit, yuzu, lends floral and citrus notes to this crisp Japanese-style pilsner. Vibrant aromas are reminiscent of mandarin orange and grapefruit zest but are unmistakably unique. A hint of sea salt enhances the smooth finish.
INGREDIENTS: Water, Barley, Rice, Hops, Yeast, Yuzu, Salt

Boutique-y 8 Year Canadian Corn Whisky
$53.99
Part of the new Boutique-y Core Range... an 8 year old Canadian Corn Whisky bottled at 45.5% after maturing in Oloroso Sherry Casks.
Producer Description
"Delve into the distinct character of our sherried 8 Year Old Canadian corn whisky. Matured in 100% Oloroso casks, this is a reminder of the Canadian landscape, a spirited embodiment of the land's rich agricultural heritage, and Moose, obviously.."
About the Label
"In keeping with our ‘deer theme’ for the labels for this collection we picked the Moose. Because why wouldn’t you? Boutique-y Whisky artist, Emily Chappell, is a genius. Period. The colours of the labels reflect the colour palette of the Aurora Borealis, while the ‘wave pattern’ across all of the labels symbolises the way the Aurora Borealis is always moving in the sky, if you’ve been lucky enough to see it."
Pivot Spirits Feedlot Alley Bourbn Style
$93.99
This Bourbon-style whisky is made in Rolling Hills, Alberta by Pivot Spirits. It is produced from a mash of locally grown Corn, Rye, Barley, and Wheat. Bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Corn, rye, barley, and soft white wheat are grains extensively utilized in the expansive value-added cattle industry in Southern Alberta, culminating in the production of our renowned Alberta Beef. Lars combined these four grains in a mash-bill, yielding his favourite whisky—a sweet, buttery sipping experience with subtle hints of oak and brown sugar."
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.

Foraged Wild Ale
Wildflowers / Lemon Balm / White Tea
Our wildest creation yet? We ventured into the Albertan wilderness to forage yarrow and other wildflowers, then paired them with 100% Hogarth malt to create a beer that truly showcases our home and the untamed flavours found across the landscape. The result is a uniquely complex and eminently crushable wild ale - a delicate tartness gives way to a botanical bouquet, woven with fresh herbs and a subtle peppery spice, all supported by a gentle, funky undertone. It’s a genuinely one-of-a-kind, crushable tribute to the art of wild fermentation."
