Found North 8 Year Old Batch 005 Cask Strength Canadian Whisky

Found North 8 Year Old Batch 005 Cask Strength Canadian Whisky is a limited release with only 2,071 bottles available. A meticulously crafted blend, it consists of 73% 21-year corn and 27% 8-year wheat, aged in both new American oak and ex-bourbon barrels. With an impressive 58.1% ABV (116.2 Proof), this non-chill filtered whisky boasts natural color and contains no additives.

Batch 005 revolves around an exceptional 8-year-old wheat component exclusively aged in new American oak—a whisky that stands out for its vibrancy and texture. Exhibiting a sweet butter note reminiscent of cookie dough, it delivers a sugary, oily mouthfeel akin to fresh shortbread from the oven, complemented by distinctive minty, tobacco spice. Paired with a 21-year-old corn component aged in ex-bourbon and further matured in new American oak for over 8 years, Batch 005 creates a full-bodied, elegant Canadian wheater, with corn providing a deep, viscous foundation.

The nose of Batch 005 welcomes you with the inviting aroma of freshly caramelized dark golden brown sugar, resembling the sweet, nutty ambiance of a warm French bakery. Creamy Irish butter, peppermint, and sliced pear drizzled with honey add to the olfactory experience. The palate is a lively dance of buttercream, rock candy, and graham cracker, while the finish is long and lingering, revealing crispy nutmeg and earth tones of tobacco, mint, and a pine needle forest bed.

Batch 005 was crafted as a result of following the trail rather than leading it. An exploration that led to an exquisite, uncut gemstone of a component, this whisky was gently shaped into a higher form, allowing its innate brilliance to shine through. Found North 8 Year Old Batch 005 Cask Strength Canadian Whisky is a testament to the art of blending, showcasing the remarkable depth and complexity that emerges from this unique combination of aged corn and wheat whiskies.
