About this bottle

Highwood Distillers, in High River, Alberta, make most of their whisky from wheat, and may well be the only major distillery with no mill. Instead, they cook the wheat whole until it bursts open like popcorn to reveal the starch inside. A devastating flood in 2013 wiped out much of the distillery, but thankfully, spared the warehouses where this Centennial whisky lay sleeping.

89/100 for me. Verry smooth flavour winter wheat with a slight white peppery rye. A little light honey to it. 100% Alberta in a bottle. I only wish this was about 46% to get a little more of the flavour profile out of it but its still an excellent whiskey

DavidGrisebach 2.0

Smooth with a creamy texture but thin on flavour. Light butterscotch, a hint of floral spice and citrus and fresh oak. Forgettable. $28 in Ontario.
