The highly-anticipated collection is designed to showcase
Canadian whisky and to underline Corby's commitment in driving the
reappraisal of Canada's national
spirit. The Northern Border Collection (Pike Creek 10 Year Old, Lot
40 100% Rye, Gooderham & Worts Four Grain and JP Wiser's 18
Year Old) has already proven it belongs on the world stage by
taking home numerous prestigious awards over the last five years
and continuing to be Unapologetically Canadian at its heart.
To compliment the Northern Border collection, ultra-rare
expressions will be released in the fall. "This is an extraordinary
line up of Canadian Whisky and should be part of any whisky
collection," says Dr. Don Livermore,
Master Blender.
Dr. Don Livermore describes the
Northern Border Collection Rare Release selection:
Lot No. 40 Cask Strength is a 12 year old, 100% rye whisky
right from the cask. It sits at 55.0% abv, which emphasizes
the spicy rye notes and complimenting new white oak. 750ml
bottle priced at $69.95.
Gooderham & Worts Little Trinity is a 17 year old
whisky which is a blend of three grains – corn, rye, and
wheat. A nice sipping whisky where each grain will linger
across the palate delivering a pleasant finish. This whisky
celebrates the story of Little Trinity Church, a church that
William Gooderham established in
1842 for his mill and distillery employees who couldn't afford the
high pew fees in the area. 750ml bottle priced at $79.95
Pike Creek 21 Year Old is a unique offering in the
Canadian Whisky category where it is finished in a Speyside Malt
cask. This rare release demonstrates how whiskies from Scotland and Canada can complement one another to give a
smooth and round sipping whisky. 750ml bottle priced at
$89.95.
J.P. Wiser's 35 Year Old
is one of the oldest Canadian Whiskies ever produced. It
represents a traditional blended rye whisky that has experienced
the harsh Canadian winters and warm summers over 35 years in our
ageing warehouse." 750ml bottle priced at $164.95.
