Basil Hayden Bourbon
$61.19
Basil Hayden Bourbon is made by Jim Beam Distillery. It is created using the high-rye Old Grand Dad mash bill, which purportedly contains about 27% Rye in the mash. Bottled at 40%.
When Basil Hayden Sr. began distilling his smooth bourbon in 1796, the state of Kentucky was only 4 years old and George Washington was president of the United States! Hayden was born and raised in Maryland, where he learned to make whiskey from rye. When he came to Kentucky, Hayden began making whiskey from a base of corn, but added a higher percentage of rye than other distillers, resulting in a smooth, mild bourbon that was distinctly his own.
Boutique-y 8 Year Canadian Corn Whisky
$48.59
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."
The Maligne Range Watchtower
$107.99
This Canadian Whisky was made from a mash of 30% peated Scottish malt and the balance Canadian malted barley. Bottled at 48%.
Producer Description
"The Watchtower is The Maligne Range’s interpretation of a peated Canadian whisky – bringing together Canadian and Scottish traditions without adhering too closely to either. Built from Canadian malt with 30% heavily peated Scottish malt, it introduces smoke with intent – layered, controlled, and integrated into the structure of the whisky, with notes of soft smoke, and apple, citrus, and dark caramel carried through with clarity.
Process and maturation bring the elements into alignment. Blending is approached with restraint, allowing the peat to remain present without overwhelming the foundation. The result is a whisky where smoke adds depth and contrast, supported by grain and structure rather than dominating it.
Named after The Watchtower Mountain, a 2,791-metre peak in Jasper National Park, it reflects a sense of clarity and exposure-defined by structure, visibility, and more pronounced edge. Within the range, it marks a shift: where contrast becomes more defined and the profile begins to push further."

"It has been two years since we've had a new offering from The Whisky Trail in-store, and with 8 new whiskies that landed, we have a very cool tasting range. We will taste our way through a pair of Blair Athols, 13 year old Dailuaine, 15 year old BenRiach, 20 year old Benrinnes, 35 year old Strathclyde, 49 year old Invergordon, and a mysterious 38 year old Blended Malt, 190 years of Scotch whisky in one tasting. Banter is likely to include trips down random rabbit holes about Knights, stained glass windows, and Highland Coos... and or something completely unrelated!"

We have endeavoured to make each of these 5 tastings equally interesting, with a comparable balance of products with respect to price, age, and style. Each tasting has a whisky over 23 years of age, and the average over all the tastings, excluding the 6 NAS bottlings, is 17.8 years. Each tasting also includes at least 1 KWM Cask, 1 peated whisky, and 1 whisky which is not a Scottish single malt.
"Each tasting kit includes 5 - 28ml top-secret premium whiskies. The name of each whisky is a closely guarded secret and has been redacted. KWM Staff have either been sworn to secrecy or are suffering from an entirely unrelated bout of short-term memory loss. You'll have to log in to the tasting on Zoom from a secure location using the QR code on the box for a classified debriefing on all 5 whiskies, Thursday, December 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 27th, 2024, @ 7 PM MT. The origins of each whisky will be revealed in the tasting, but can also be found on the KWM Blog, through our social media channels, or by scanning the QR code on each bottle."
