This barrel is one of the only rye whiskies ever to be finished in a White Pineau Des Charentes cask. Season 005, a blend of 10-20 year old component whiskies, marks a return to a higher rye grain ratio for our single barrels. Weaving together 5 distinct components gave this core blend a unique opportunity to layer oxidized sweet corn profiles with earthy, subtle spice tones from the rye. By partnering with Midwest Barrel Company to identify rich, densely saturated finishing casks across a variety of styles we were able to extract a broad spectrum of flavors, from the jammy red fruit of Pineau de Charentes to the chocolate, leather and caramel of Ruby Port Casks and an enormous variety in between.

Their Story: Our goal is to make whisky so delicious and resonant that it shines a light on northern whisky-making. We blend Canadian whisky because its entire purpose from distillation through maturation is to produce quality components for the blender. As blenders, we have access to a diverse range of old, well-made whiskies from which we can further mature and blend the whisky that we want to drink right now.

Blending defines Canadian whiskyyet, unlike many large Canadian whisky brands, our goal isnt to make a smooth and easy-drinking product for the mass market. Were inspired by rich, complex, and tongue-tingling whiskies that quicken the senses and enliven the taste buds. We dont use coloring or additives and we release non-chill filtered batches at cask strength.

With every batch we create, our bond with Canadian whisky grows stronger and our senses sharper. In blending, we are meticulous. We fret about single percentage points, because we believe the quality of Found North can inspire a new renaissance of Canadian enthusiasm.
