Odd Society Spirits + Wild Thing Community Collaboration Porcini & Candy Cap Mushroom Single Malt Whisky
Odd Society is launching a new whisky series called ‘Community Collaborations’. We’ve once again enlisted Shwa Keirstead and David Arias to create a beautiful label depicting these convivial adventures. As with previous collaborations, we explore new flavour combinations with friends and neighbors.
Our first release is a porcini & candy cap mushroom single malt whisky made in collaboration with Wild Thing Snack Bar. In celebration of the opening of Wild Thing’s second location (2420 Main St.), and a shared love of mushrooms, Odd Society’s Joel McNichol and Fraser Pick teamed up with friends Todd Graham and Kody Abrams of Wild Thing to produce a Porcini and Candy Cap Mushroom Single Malt Whisky using mushrooms sourced by David Xiao of Oyster & King.
On the nose, the whisky presents rich notes of butter and dark brown sugar. The first sip reveals a captivating viscosity and a hint of praline pecans balanced with a subtle savoury and woodsy undertone that is further unearthed in its lingering finish. It’s seriously delicious.
Odd Society Spirits + Wild Thing Community Collaboration Porcini & Candy Cap Mushroom Single Malt Whisky will be on the Wild Thing and Odd Society cocktail menus starting Thursday, November 3.
Bottles will also be available at the distillery and select liquor stores starting Thursday, November 3. Packaged in 375 ml bottles and priced at $45, there will be a limit of 2 bottles per person at the distillery. Liquor store prices will vary.
This limited release will be available through our online store shortly after, starting Sunday, November 6.
