A good Canadian Christmas needs a good Canadian whisky. One that’s hand-crafted, small batched and spells whisky without an “e.”
Enter STALK&BARREL, a true Canadian whisky, 100% owned and operated in our backyard, not south of the border like all the big Canadian whisky brands.
STALK&BARREL celebrates its Canadian roots, inspiring us to keep things close to home this holiday season and start some new holiday traditions.
This liquid luxury opens with aromas of caramel apple and white flowers, and offers notes of creamy vanilla and rich butterscotch, with a zingy white pepper finish.
