The Whistler Imperial Stout Cask Finish
The Whistler Imperial Stout Cask Finish is a triple-distilled blended whiskey made in collaboration with Boyne Brewhouse. The whiskey itself is made from 50% wheat whiskey, 35% malt whiskey, and 15% grain whiskey all individually aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The barrels used for finishing this blend were ex-sherry barrels which formerly held The Whistler Blue Note Whiskey.
These barrels were dumped and then used by Boyne Brewhouse to age its Imperial Stout for six months. After the beer aging, the barrels were then sent back to finish this blend for six months. Bottled without chill-filtration or added caramel at 43% ABV.

Tasting Notes
"From its wheat-forward blend to its ageing in a former stout cask, this is an unusual whiskey. There's a strong cereal note on the both the nose and the initial palate, which opens up to roasted malt and cacao. Hints of brown bread linger on the finish. It's an intriguing departure from the typical Irish whiskey profile, pleasantly reminiscent of the country's famous dry stouts. "
