Our debut release, a first for Canadian Whisky, a 9-year-old Canadian Single Malt single cask finished in a Brazilian Amburana barrel, is a testament to our commitment to innovation and exploration. It is a departure from conventional Canadian whiskies. This expression stands out for its unique character and distinctive flavor profile. But our mission extends beyond the liquid in the bottle. We invite you to join us in celebrating "The Rising Tide" of Canadian Spirits - a movement that embraces diversity, fosters collaboration, and elevates the spirits community.

So whether you're a seasoned whisky aficionado or a curious newcomer, know that you're among friends here at Whisky For Us. Together, let's raise a glass to Canadian quality, to the spirit of adventure, and to the vibrant community that brings us together. Join us on this journey, and together, let's toast to the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

The tasting notes above are what we get when we drink this whisky, though, in truth we struggled to find two people who gave the same tasting notes. From toasted nori to spearmint, sun tanning lotion to cedar wood and cinnamon to tropical fruit. This unique bottling should have a lot for whisky enthusiasts interested in exploring this newly accessible Brazilian Amburana cask, recently available to whisky distilleries.

We will be taking pre-orders shortly. Keep an eye on this space, or better yet, sign up for our newsletter to make sure you don't miss out on any Whisky For Us releases.

This debut release is available for pre-order at Last Straw Distillery.

Cheers,
The Whisky For Us Team

If you enjoy whisky, then you're one of us!

A community-focused venture born out of a shared love for whisky and a passion for Canadian spirits. We're not your typical whisky establishment with decades of industry experience or tales of ancestral recipes. Instead, we're enthusiasts, just like you, who believe in the power of collaboration and the celebration of quality.

At Whisky For Us, a Spirit For Us Inc. brand, we're proud to be part of the rising tide of quality in the Canadian spirits market. As enthusiasts ourselves, we've witnessed the emergence of exceptional spirits from across our great nation. We're especially inspired by pioneers like Still Waters Distillery, the oldest craft distillery in Ontario, who began their journey much like us - as independent bottlers. They have reinforced our determination to showcase the best of what Canada has to offer.

If you enjoy whisky, then you're one of us!
