The Product
'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.
