Pivot Spirits Feedlot Alley Bourbn Style
$84.59
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.
Pivot Spirits Triticale Whisky
$79.19
Made from Triticale grown in Lars' own fields! Lars is the proprieter of Pivot spirits, and produces most of the whisky he makes from very own grain. Bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Triticale is the result of crossing wheat and rye. We appreciate the impressive yields that the latest Triticale varieties deliver on our irrigation farm. What's even more delightful is the unique flavors that Triticale imparts to our whisky! The sweetness of wheat and the spiciness of rye are beautifully complemented by smooth tones of honey, fruit, and vanilla."

Galipette Cidre Extra Brut
$6.29
5.5% ABV
Producer Description
"GALIPETTE EXTRA BRUT is our driest cider, made mainly from bitter-sweet Breton cider apples. It has an unusually bold and intense character that naturally varies with the seasons. This Cuvée du Maître de Chai, or Cellar Master's blend, uses up to fifteen varieties native to the orchards of Brittany such as Marie Ménard, Dous Moën and Bedan, which give the perfect character, colour and balance. The extra-long fermentation here isn’t the fastest way to make cider, but it naturally preserves structure and length of taste, with a higher alcohol level. The result is true to the bold Breton style of cider, with its earthy tannins and full flavour. Enjoy this crisp, dry cider as it is or just as we would in Brittany, as the perfect partner to a plateau des fruits de mer."
Galipette Cidre Biologique
$6.29
4% ABV
Producer Description
"GALIPETTE BIOLOGIQUE is our organic cuvée, made from 100% organic cider apples. It has an exciting wildflower character that naturally varies with the seasons in authentic organic style. The assemblage majors on bitter-sweet apples with just a hint of sweet varieties, such as Carting, Sweet Moen and Belle Fille de la Manche, all native to the centuries-old orchards of Normandy. Light fermentation preserves the natural floral aromas and yields a lower alcohol level. Sweeter on the nose and true to the Normandy style of cider, enjoy this refreshing feel-good fizz on a sunny summer’s day, or explore its intriguing sweet-savoury nature with a fresh goat’s cheese."
