Raise your glass to the inaugural Canadian Whisky Week, taking place from January 13 to 19, 2025. This worldwide celebration invites whisky lovers from all corners of the globe to honour the rich heritage, craftsmanship, and local flavours of Canadian whisky.

Nestled in the rugged beauty of Whitehorse, Yukon, Two Brewers Distillery is carving out a unique place in the Canadian whisky landscape. Born from the creativity and expertise of Yukon Brewing, Two Brewers crafts small-batch single malt whiskies that reflect the untamed spirit of the North.

Signal Hill Founder’s Select Overproof is rich and candied blended Canadian whisky, crafted from a distinctive blend of corn and malted barley. Bottled at 59.4% ABV, this overproof whisky highlights the natural sweetness of its grains, delivering a robust yet balanced profile. The corn lends a smooth, creamy sweetness, while the malted barley adds layers of depth and complexity.

Sons of Vancouver Distillery is redefining Canadian rye whisky with their Realms of Rye Edition 1, the first in a series of limited-release 100% rye whiskies. Designed to explore the vast flavour spectrum rye grain can offer, this collection showcases the artistry of fermentation, maturation, and blending—absent of added flavourings, colourants, or specialty barrel finishes.

Much like Scotland’s single malts or America’s bourbons, Realms of Rye celebrates the versatility of its core ingredient. Edition 1 was aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and new American oak casks, resulting in a complex profile with notes of orange peel, coriander seed, black tea, and raw sugar. Each sip is a journey into the unconventional realms of Canadian rye whisky, crafted to challenge expectations and highlight its untapped potential.

Shelter Point Distillery, renowned for its exceptional single malts, steps into new territory with Blacktail Rye—a masterful blend of rye and malted barley grains. This unique combination brings together the spicy, robust character of rye with the smooth, biscuity sweetness of malted barley, creating a whisky that’s complex yet approachable.

Stillhead Distillery’s Bartender’s Rye is a true celebration that is grain-forward letting bold, spicy, herbaceous character take centre stage. Designed with mixologists in mind, Bartender’s Rye is a versatile performer that shines in both classic and creative cocktails. But here’s the catch—you won’t find it on store shelves. This exclusive release is only available at select local bars across BC, making it a hidden treasure for those in the know. If you want to experience the pure, unfiltered charm of a grain-forward rye, your best bet is to hunt it down at your favourite BC watering hole.

On Vancouver Island, where craft beer runs deep, Phillips Brewing & Malting Co. pays homage to its roots with Sanctuary Whisky. Aged in barrels that once cradled bourbon, beer, and wine, this distinctive single malt captures the island’s spirit—bold, innovative, and undeniably unique.
