WHISKY THAT ‘RAUCHS’ 🤘

🥃🪵💨 SMOKE & OAK: RAUCH MALT WHISKY!

Rauch Malt is the first whisky to be released in Odd Society’s new ‘Smoke & Oak’ series. Just like in peated whiskies the malt in this series is dried with smoke. Rather than using peat different woods are burned to impart unique flavours onto the whisky. German malt called ‘Rauch’ (beechwood smoked) gives this particular whisky just a hint of smokey richness, and then the whisky is aged for four years in American white oak.

The Rauch Malt whisky is slightly fruity-sweet off the hop, and finishes with a lovely dry, briny, and delicate smokiness. It’s the perfect summertime whisky!

Order at shop.oddsocietyspirits.com; pickup or purchase at the distillery, and Canada-wide shipping is available. 375 ml, 46% ABV, $40 (at the distillery).

ROBBIE BURNS SINGLE-BARREL WHISKY

Odd Society Spirits is celebrating the life of Scottish poet Robert Burns in style with a limited edition single malt whisky release!

On Thursday, January 19, a special single barrel release is coming from Odd Society Spirits in honour of Robbie Burns Day (Jan. 25). While inspecting and tasting their aging whiskies, distillers Gordon Glanz and Joel McNichol came upon a perfect single barrel. Aged for 5.5 years in ex-bourbon and American white oak barrels, this single malt is just right on its own—blending this whisky with another barrel would just upset the balance.

Odd Society Spirits Robbie Burns Canadian Whisky is the distillery’s first ever single barrel release, and its first five-year-old whisky. This unicorn batch hits all the right notes of dark honey, leather, and lemony citrus, with a whiff of smoke imparted from the addition of Scottish peat in the finishing process.

Packaged in 750 mL bottles at 46% ABV, and priced at $76, Odd Society Spirits Robbie Burns Canadian Whisky is a distillery exclusive, and will be available online, and at the tasting lounge and bottle shop (1725 Powell Street), starting at 3pm on Thursday, January 19.
