Northern Grains is an artisanal whisky distilled from a mash of winter wheat and malted barley from Northern British Columbia. It’s aged in American oak bourbon barrels for a minimum of three years and finished in French oak wine casks from BC’s Okanagan Valley. This exceptionally smooth whisky is non-chill filtered with notes of dried stone fruit, toasted wood and cherry.

Nose- some wine notes here Body- toasted nuts and a bit of hiney Finish- maple surup and just a hint of toasted marshmallow This tastes less Canadian than many I have had tonight. Perhaps this is owed to the sherry finish.

Nuts, chocolate, spices, fruit and toffee. A sweet taste of red wine and dried fruit on the finish.
