Victoria Caledonian Distillery was founded in Saanich, Greater Victoria in 2016 by Scottish expat Graeme Macaloney. Mac Na Braiche is Gaelic for "son of malt" and is made from Canadian barley and is aged in a mix of American and European oak for around 20 months. The spirit is then finished in recharred red wine barriques. Please note: Although this is made in Canada, it is not labeled Canadian whisky as Mac Na Braiche is aged under 3 years.

It’s noticeably peated. But in a way you’re probably not used to. West coast Canadian peat has more earthy tones similar to a mezcal with floral char notes. It’s a beautiful dram
This truly blew my mind. The nose was strong with heavy peat smoke, but it is just so smooth. This paired with a nice cuban cigar is just heavenly.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
