The good folks at That Boutique-y Whisky Company have been busy delightfully dramatising different apocalyptic scenarios with their End of the World series! Fresh off the woodlands of Canada, here we have a Canadian corn whisky, lovingly aged for eight years and finished in the rich embrace of oloroso sherry casks, and it's got a label that speaks of a pandemic.
Picture this: it's Canada, and you're huddled by the fire, tuning in for a sip of warmth. The whisky, aged like a fine lumberjack's beard, draws you in with its tales of the oloroso sherry embrace — a silky yet robust character that'll make you feel cosier than a bear in a cabin. Here's to you, our Northern neighbours — a liquid companion in the face of pandemonium. Let's weather this storm together, one dram at a time. Stay home, stay warm, and keep that spirit ablaze!
Batch 2 is a release of 278 bottles.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends, all adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels. The brand won Spirits Bottler of the Year at the 2023 Spirits Business Awards, and Blender of the Year went to Sam Simmons, captain of the Boutique-y clan who oversees every one of these releases.

Palate Silky, buttery layers of corn sweetness and sherried fruit, supported by creamy vanilla and elegant oak.
Finish A touch of savoury spice is backed by lingering oak, caramel, and burnt butter.
