Angel's Envy Triple Oak Bourbon
$94.99
Sometimes two oaks just isn't enough. For those times, there is Angel's Envy Triple Oak.
That's right, Angel's Envy has officially entered the Oak Wars!
This Bourbon is bottled at 46% after being finished in a combination of French Oak, Chinkapin Oak, and Hungarian Oak.
Could this cask an oak escalation? Will Woodford Reserve retaliate with a Quadruple Oak offering? Perhaps a Jim Beam Quintuple Oak will be introduced? Where will it end?
Producer Description
"The artistry of Angel’s Envy Triple Oak lies in how each barrel’s character enhances the blend. The French oak brings the strongest flavor of all, providing hints of baking spices, chocolate, and cinnamon. It is complemented by the Chinkapin oak, a seasoned local Kentucky oak, which adds notes of caramel, vanilla, and a rich coffee layer. The Hungarian Oak balances the three, providing depth while uniting the finishes into one balanced flavor profile."

Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye
$43.99
This Crown Royal release is a blend, 95% of which is rye grain distilled at the company's distillery in Gimli, Manitoba. When reviewed upon its first release in 2015 it was given a respectable 91 points by Whisky Advocate. Also, some guy in a Panama Hat dubbed it the World Whisky of the Year back in 2016. Regardless of what we think of him, the Crown Royal Northern Harvest is a solid Canadian Whisky and worth a try if you are a Crown Royal or Canadian Whisky fan! 45% ABV.
Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year
$37.99
A new Rye from Alberta Distillers! With no press release or information or web page on the bottle to be found. What we can tell you is that it carries a stated age of 9 Years Old, and is made from 100% Rye Grain. Oh, and it is bottled at 45% ABV.
The back label does mention three barrel types used, but does not specify which types. It is from ADL, so the liquid should be good. Plus, the price is very reasonable if the quality is there.
If only this small, plucky Calgary Distillery was owned by a large spirits conglomerate that could afford to throw some money into marketing and entice us on what makes this bottle special... Sure, the same company owns a distillery on Islay that pointlessly co-brands some of their high-end single malts with a luxury car brand because they don't see the whisky as premium enough to sell on its own. That is just fine, but throwing a bit of a spotlight on one of the best rye distilleries in the world would be a bridge too far!
True Wild Roper's Hold 8 Yr Straight Rye
$121.99
Roper's Hold is a Blended Whisky produced by our friends at True Wild, a new Distillery and Restaurant in Calgary. It will be 2030 before they have a whisky of their own, but in the interim they have sourced whiskies to bottle, giving an indication of where they are going as a producer.
Bottled at 47%
Producer Description
"Roper’s Hold is a celebration of artistry in spirits. Similar to painting, the aging and blending of these collected whiskies is what makes each of them desirable as a unique expression of the spirit and cask. Each blend’s ephemeral existence further amplifies its appeal. No matter who you are, you must get it while you can. For every label in this brand, nothing will ever be like it again. Compelling. Distinct. Creative. Complex."
Alberta Distillers Rare Batch No.2 21 Yr
$151.99
This 21 year old Alberta Distillers Rye was matured in a mix of ex-Canadian, ex-Bourbon, and New White Oak Casks. 50%
Producer Description
"For over two decades in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, three barrel styles have influenced the aging of Alberta Distiller’s second rare Canadian whisky release. Canadian Whisky, Bourbon Whisky, and New White Oak barrels aged Rare Batch Issue No.2 laying down in a rack style, promoting greater air flow around the barrels at a higher elevation. This traditional maturation process influenced several flavour profiles in combination with the dry air and chinook winds of the foothills."

The Maligne Range Watchtower
$119.99
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."
