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.

    Distilled in Canada and aged in barrels for at least three years. Often, but not always, Canadian whiskies are blends of corn, barley and rye which are distilled and matured separately.

Tasting Notes

"This blend of soft, ten-year-old wheat whisky and equally-aged spicy rye seems simple at first. Before long though, subtle citrus notes, hints of sweet flowers and savory spices join cloves, cinnamon, hot ginger and blistering pepper on a creamy butterscotch palate. Sip it again and you’d swear you taste the nuttiness of barley and the creaminess of corn, though neither was used in making this whisky. Finishes with a pleasant, cleansing bitterness and hints of barrel. "
