Tasted at Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting # 124 - Found North Whisky. We tasted 8 glorious drams in this tasting, hosted in person by co-founder Nick Taylor. All Found North whiskies are bottled at cask strength without chill filtering or added color - yay! One of the things that makes Found North truly special is the total transparency about their whiskies. Found North is a blender and independent bottler. They get whisky from various distilleries in Canada. Due to NDAs with these distilleries, they are not able to disclose who distilled the spirit. This information is from their website: "Batch 003 is a 5-whisky blend created to accentuate a vibrant, zesty, fruit-forward nose and palate combination rarely seen in rye whisky. The whisky was built around an 18 year old rye aged in ex-tequila barrels with a verdant and floral nose combined with an herbaceous spiciness. We enriched the fruitiness by blending in an additional 18 year rye aged in ex-Speyside scotch casks and a surprisingly delicate 21 year old corn component aged in used American oak. Lastly, we provided a foundation of baking spices and brown sugar using a 17 year rye and a 25 year corn, both aged in Hungarian oak." 2,792 Bottle outturn.
