BRANDY - WHISKY

Tasting Notes

Fresh Apricots and White Peaches with delicate floral aromas of Lily of the Valley fill the glass. The original Moscato Canelli grapes come through reflective of the extended chilled fermentation.  A beautiful balance of citrus and sweetness on the palate with hints of grapefruit and a refreshing crisp finish. There is no doubt a strong personality to this spirit which the name suggests.

Coming from a single distillery via a single malt house, sourced from a single field of a single farm.This barley comes from field NE4-37-27-W4M at Hamill farm and has been malted at Red Shed Malting in Penhold, Alberta. Bow Glacier Water, premium ingredients married with our passion is where this whisky begins. 

Tasting Notes

Dried fruits, honey, cloves and freshly cooked brioche on the nose. Creamy mouthfeel initially hit the tongue. Delicate lightly roasted barley is tasted first and reveals soft vanilla cream, nutmeg and pleasant subtle pepper spiciness. The spice peaks and falls to a clean finish, warm and pleasant.
