Found North Batch 009 19 Year Cask Strength Whisky 750mL

INFO

Batch 009 is a celebration of age. The common dichotomy in whisky is that either age is the be-all-end-all or does not matter. The truth, unsurprisingly, is more nuanced. Old whisky does not necessarily equal good whisky, but old whisky often presents flavors and textures that are unavailable within younger barrels of maturing whisky. 

Batch 009 is our oldest Batch to date. While the cornerstone of this blend is a 19 year old rye finished for over a year in Ruby Port hogsheads, the foundation is a triplet of 23 year old corn components, two of which were aged in New American Oak and one in Bourbon barrels. We used two additional 19 year old whiskies, one corn and one rye, as well as a 22 year old corn and a 26 year old corn component to round out the rest of this 8-whisky tapestry. The resulting blend is dynamic and fragrant and easily the thickest whisky we have ever made.

Found North Whisky
Our goal is to make whisky so delicious and resonant that it shines a light on northern whisky-making. We blend Canadian whisky because its entire purpose from distillation through maturation is to produce quality components for the blender. As blenders, we have access to a diverse range of old, well-made whiskies from which we can further mature and blend the whisky that we want to drink right now.
‍
Blending defines Canadian whisky—yet, unlike many large Canadian whisky brands, our goal isn’t to make a smooth and easy-drinking product for the mass market. We’re inspired by rich, complex, and tongue-tingling whiskies that quicken the senses and enliven the taste buds. We don’t use coloring or additives and we release non-chill filtered batches at cask strength.
‍
With every batch we create, our bond with Canadian whisky grows stronger and our senses sharper. In blending, we are meticulous. We fret about single percentage points, because we believe the quality of Found North can inspire a new renaissance of Canadian enthusiasm.

TASTING NOTES

Before Batch 009 touches your lips you can sense its luscious texture. The nose is like crimson velvet, ripe with raspberry compote, laced with butterscotch and tinged with molasses. Beneath the decadent maple and cinnamon overtones lies a black cherry drizzle on lemon-zested buttercream. The secondary notes whisper of black forest cake, garnished with a mint leaf, served à la mode. 

Batch 009 lands with a burst of berry fruit and a sweet baking spice counterpart. The landing dissolves into cinnamon and brown sugar while the fruit notes melt like muscadine grapes rolling thick viscous vanillin oils across the tongue. The dense raw maple notes seep into the side palate, dominating the entire midsection like treacle turned into languid molten lava moving implacably toward the finish. As the rich molasses note reaches the last section it transitions into a triad of wood spice, gentle mint tea and oak tannin, echoing endlessly, reverberating honey, citrus and nutmeg.
