Highwood // Alberta, Canada
Highwood Distillery custom blended whiskies aged 15 to 25 years in charred oak barrels for this release. And they’re full of history. Highwood acquired Potter’s Distillery back in 2005 when some of the barrels were already quite old.
They then went on a road trip from British Columbia to Highwood’s Alberta warehouses where they continued aging until the cream of the crop were ready for blending. (Note: This is not currently available in the U.S.

Tasting Notes
"This is what a whisky would smell like if it was aged in a baseball bat factory. Fresh cut lumber and wood shavings tower above any other flavor in this creamy and glossy whisky. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the bottle is shaped a little like a bat with flare? Sweet corn and black pepper offer the balance along with mellowed almond and baking spices. The tannins from the oak rise in the earthy finish knocking this whisky out of the park. "
