The Product

"Ancient Grains is 2023's most awarded artisan spirit in the country" (Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition)

WINNER OF CANADIAN WHISKY AWARDS 2023 
'BEST WHISKY SPIRIT OF THE YEAR'

What do we mean by ‘Alternative Whisky’? ...Alt Whisky is described as a modern, new world spirit made using alternative grains and techniques and by the whims and desires of the distiller them-self. This ‘whisky spirit’ is guaranteed to be one of the most unique whiskies one has ever laid lips to.

The Process

Distilled from BC barley, spelt, emmer, khorasan and einkorn-the ancestors of all modern grains and then matured in brand new American oak quarter-casks.

Tasting Notes

Notes of candied fruit and macadamia nuts combine with spicy notes of clove, allspice and smoke.

How to Sip

A fantastic sipping whisky, Ancient Grains also holds its own in any whisky-focused cocktail. Try it in one of our signature cocktails here.
