The second batch of the Porcini & Candy Cap mushroom is back! Meant to be a single batch whisky, we decided to craft a second batch after the it won the Product Innovation Award at the Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition (CASC). Porcini and candy cap mushrooms are now in season in BC and the western coast just across the boarder. David Xiao of Oyster & King sourced the perfect combination of porcini and candy cap mushrooms again for this whisky.

The nose gives you a mossy meadow, sweet earth, and savoury maple. The rich mouthfeel includes hints of browned butter, toasted almonds, burnt caramel, ending with a long, sweet, mushroom umami finish.

Enjoy neat, on ice or in an autumn Old Fashioned.

OUR GOOD FRIEND ROBBIE IS BACK!

ROBBIE BURNS CANADIAN WHISKY – SECOND RELEASE  🥃 ✍️

  photo credit: Anjali J Photography

This weekend we are releasing our second whisky in honor of Robbie Burns. Scotland’s national poet is Known the world over for his work which centered on universal themes such as love and nature.

The whisky was aged for five years in once-used, American white oak, ex-rye barrels. This deliciously light, easy sipping dram is bright, smoky, and peaty with caramelized honey and straw on the nose. The palate has rich honey notes, chewy nut brittle and a mineral, briny salinity that is slightly spicy. The whisky ends with a clean woodfire smoke finish. A beautiful tribute to an enduring master of words.

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY TO US!

This limited edition whisky is a testament to our heritage with an ‘Odd’ nod to the solera method. A rich and unique blend of rye, single malt, maple, peated and smoked malt whiskies that have been married in our boneyard barrels from four to seven years. Several litres from this release have been saved and started in the next boneyard barrel.

The whisky itself is wonderfully complex, yet well balanced. On the palate it has notes of caramel, vanilla, orange chocolate, leather and nougat. There is a slight smoke throughout and has a dry finish.

Order at shop.oddsocietyspirits.com; pickup or purchase at the distillery, and Canada-wide shipping is available. 750 ml, 46% ABV, $77.39 (at the distillery).
