Found North Batch 010 8 Year Cask Strength Whisky 750mL

INFO

Batch 010 embodies our vision for Canadian wheaters - old corn and younger wheat. While corn deeply benefits from decades of aging, we find that wheat quickly ages out of its unique buttery and minty profile. Because bourbon is made by combining the grains before distillation and maturation, wheated bourbon producers are stuck constantly compromising, either over aging the wheat or under aging the corn.

In contrast, Batch 010 uses a combination of two 23 year old corn components and a 19 year corn component as the foundation of the blend. Making up 66% of the whisky, these super-aged corn components provide the thick, viscous structure and the resonant layer of brown sugar and baking spices that come with age. This structure compliments the vibrant buttery quality and luscious mintiness from the 29% 8 year old wheat, achieving the ebullience of wheat and the elegance of ancient corn.

Batch 010 features a new component and a new grain - a 9 year old malted barley aged in New American Oak. Even at 5% of the blend, the malted barley brings oiliness and rich layers of semi-sweet chocolate, creating a new dynamic within our conception of a Canadian wheater.

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

Batch 010 does not flit or faulter. It presents a balanced harmony, a chorus of integrated notes that move inexorably from nose to landing to palate to finish. The nose promises a melody of vanilla wafer, toffee and semi-sweet chocolate chips, transporting you to a Sicilian cafe serving affogato over coffee gelato. The countermelody echoes hints of plum, shortbread, rock candy and a sweet resonant whisper of orange zest.

Batch 010 lands with a rumbling cinnamon sugar note, layered upon Irish buttered toast, harkening back to its Batch 005 heritage. The initial creamy texture resolves into a gripping brown sugar viscosity while the crackling wood-spiced tannin emerges towards the finish. The evolving mouthfeel mingles beautifully with notes of fat toasted marshmallow and malted chocolate cake. The lingering finish settles into your chest with spicy honey butter, perfumed mahogany and oiled cedar, before it hits a final reverberant nutmeg and mint note that plunges into the depths of your soul.
