The trees used for these barrels were harvested from about 40 miles from the distillery. They are estimated to have been over 150 years old which they would have just been rooted around the time of Canada's Confederation; a time when three British Colonies became four provinces and thus began the creation of Canada as we know it.

Tasting Notes

"Charred barrel notes, vanilla, and leather are fairly intense as you stick your nose in the glass. The whisky is less about the sweet notes as thoughts of a study filled with dark wood furniture and leather-bound books (and perhaps bottles of whisky on the shelves) came to mind while sipping the dram."
