The finish is long and warming, carrying treacle, black pepper, dark fruit and a quiet wisp of smoke.
J.P. Wiser’s 35 Year Old
Full and polished, with vanilla, maple and warm grain giving way to a distinctly rye-led palate. Fresh pumpernickel, cardamom and dill bring savoury lift, while cherries add a dark-fruited counterpoint. The oak is assertive but integrated, lending char and structure rather than simple dryness. The finish is broad and persistent, carrying dark bread, cherry syrup, herbs, vanilla and a final smoky edge.

Sweetness remains controlled, giving the spice room to build. The finish is warm and peppery, leaving citrus peel, dried fruit, oak and persistent rye.
Forty Creek 2014 Evolution Special Edition Canadian Whisky

Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve Canadian Whisky
Maple, raisin, vanilla and fig lead a layered aroma, followed by praline, banana, buttercream and orange blossom.

The finish is long and warming, fading through white pepper, spice and dried dark fruit.
Forty Creek Small Batch Reserve Canadian Whisky
Orange peel, perfume and mixed spice open over firm oak. The palate is delicate, combining plum, mint, vanilla and a lightly smoky edge with measured sweetness.

Wayne Gretzky No. 99 Ninety Nine Proof Canadian Whisky
Ripe red fruit and caramel open with toasty new oak, vanilla and almond. The palate is bold and spicy, layering peanut brittle and dried fruit over a firm grain-driven structure.

Very pale and expressive, with peach, lime zest and wet stone leading the nose.

Therianthropy 2020 Claire de Lune Riesling
Crystalline lemon and ripe citrus lead a powerful, textured white, with wax, fine spice and honey adding depth.

Wild fermentation and unfiltered, unfined handling preserve energy through a long, mineral finish.
Therianthropy 2021 Pinot Gris Pét-Nat
Light copper in the glass, with citrus pith, nectarine and peach tart lifted by floral notes and a gentle earthy edge.

A subtle peppery, savoury note adds definition to the clean finish, keeping the fruit bright and refreshingly composed.
