Introducing Found North Whisky

Posted on March 30, 2021 in New Arrivals

Found North Whisky Batch 001 & Batch 002

Found North is a new independent bottler and blender of Canadian whisky, founded by our friends Nick and Zach Taylor. Launching this week, Batch 001 is a cask strength 16 year old Canadian rye whisky and Batch 002 is a cask strength 16 year old Canadian whisky containing an unusually high percentage of corn.

As a thank you to the people and place where they got their start, the Taylor brothers are launching Found North in Massachusetts first, before it rolls out nationally late April. Be one of the first to try these amazing new whiskies. Find North.

Found North Batch 001 – Cask Strength Rye Whisky – Aged 16 Years

Found North Batch 001
Rye spice is a double-edged sword. The deeper you cut into the flavor opportunities, the spicier the palate. You can easily smooth the spice out with new oak or water it down through proofing. Batch 001 exemplifies the third option – forget about making it “smooth” and instead make the whisky as robust and dynamic as possible.

Found North started with herbaceous, 16 year old rye aged in Hungarian oak. They then blended in fruit-forward, 17 year old rye aged in ex-Speyside scotch casks. The combination revealed a smoldering symphony of spice. Last, they lengthened the finish and increased the viscosity by adding double-distilled corn whisky aged for 20 years in refill and level-2-char virgin oak. The final composition of 66% rye, 30% corn, and 4% malted barley is bottled non chill-filtered and additive free at 57.1% ABV.

Tasting Notes:
Batch 001 is initially defined by the spiciness. The first impression is hot cinnamon and cayenne. The second pass reveals all of the fruit-forward undertones. The third act exhibits all of the wood character – vanilla, caramel and tannin. The finish is lengthy, very warming and surprisingly berry-forward and sweet.

Price: $109.99

Found North Batch 002 – Cask Strength Whisky – Aged 16 Years

Found North Batch 002
Batch 002 is an anomaly that caused Found North quite a dilemma. In search of texturous whisky to complement the rye in Batch 001, they discovered stunning double distilled corn whisky, affectionately known at Found North as “Sample 18.” They blended Sample 18 with a parcel of buttery, minty 17 year old rye aged in ex-wheated bourbon barrels and then added a touch of lively, earthy 16 year old rye.

The problem was – the more they tweaked the ratio in favor of Sample 18 the more the blend improved. At 80:20 corn to rye the blend presented a mesmerizing orange creamsicle note, but no longer qualified as “rye.” Found North had to choose between bottling the best whisky or the most marketable whisky. They bottled this black sheep as is. They love her, and at 64.9% ABV she loves us right back. The final composition of 80% corn, 19% rye, and 1% malted barley is bottled non chill-filtered and additive free at 64.9% ABV.

Tasting Notes:
Batch 002 immediately shows a combination of new wood and bright fruit with butterscotch, burnt sugar and sweet clementine. The pairing of fresh vanilla and minty spice manifests as peppermint ice cream. The longer you sit with it the more the fruit notes take over, showing red apple, rock candy and an enticing orange creamsicle character.

Price: $114.99

Special Offer: Buy Found North Batch 001 and Batch 002 at the same time for only $209.98 – a savings of $15.00! Use coupon code FOUNDNORTH with both items in your shopping cart to receive the discount. Offer valid through Sunday, April 4, 2021.

Introducing The Distillery at Torabhaig!

Posted on March 29, 2021 in New Arrivals

Torabhaig 2017 The Legacy Series - Beauty Shot

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is inextricably linked to its place of origin, perhaps more so than any other product. The water, the land, the climate, all play a role in the character of the whisky. All these factors are also vitally important in planning a new distillery. Simply put, you cannot just build a distillery anywhere.

Some time ago, the team behind Torabhaig identified an old farmstead on the Isle of Skye as the perfect location for a small, traditional distillery. All the factors needed to make good, robust island whisky were in place, right down to the Allt Breacach and the Allt Gleann, the burns that feed them with the purest island spring water. They were also fortunate to start with a handsome, rugged building, rich in history and local lore. 200 years or so ago, the stone that forms this building was hauled up from the ruined castle in the bay, by horse and cart. Men toiled from dawn till dusk building this Steading which was to stand the test of time for the next 150 years or so until farming practices changed.

This 19th century building has been fully restored to hold the gorgeous copper stills and traditional wooden washbacks that will allow Torabhaig to produce whisky there for the next two hundred years, and they've even built in a removable roof so that in time the pot stills can be replaced without disturbing the old building again.

After a painstaking 4-year restoration and build, Torabhaig has been a fully operational Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery since January 2017, the second ever on the Isle of Skye. And now, their inaugural release is here!

Torabhaig 2017 The Legacy Series

Torabhaig 2017 The Legacy Series Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The inaugural release. Heavily peated Single Malt Whisky made with Concerto malted barley with an in-grain phenols content of 55-60 PPM. Fermented with Pinnacle MG+ yeast and aged solely in First-Fill Bourbon Barrels. Bottled at 46% ABV with no chill-filtration or coloring, and a residual phenols level of 16 PPM. This is a robustly peated spirit with a deceptively refined character resulting in a complex and characterful maritime whisky.

Introductory Price: $59.99
LIMIT STRICTLY ONE BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER!
