The Fort Distillery Mountain Pass Canadian Whisky

Produced by The Fort Distillery in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Mountain Pass Canadian Whisky is a double-gold-winning craft release. Crafted from a 100% corn mashbill, the spirit is aged in ex-bourbon barrels for a blend of 4 to 6 years and proofed down with pure Rocky Mountain glacier water to 40% ABV. The expression yields a clean, approachable profile driven by rich vanilla, butterscotch, dried corn cobs, and warm wood spice.

Food Pairing: Barbecue pork ribs, smoked beef brisket, sharp Cheddar cheese, salted pretzels, or maple pecan pie.

Tasting Notes: Bright golden amber with clear brilliance and light, steady legs along the glass.

Nose: Light and inviting, opening with dried corn cobs, sweet vanilla bean, and butterscotch, followed by toasted grain, light cinnamon, and soft oak sawdust.

Palate: Smooth and mid-palate soft, featuring rich vanilla, butterscotch, and sweet grass upfront before developing into light baking spice, dried fruit, and toasted oak.

Finish: Short-to-medium length, drying, and crisp with lingering notes of sweet corn, soft vanilla, and warm oak spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat, over ice, or as a versatile mixer in classic cocktails like a Whisky & Ginger Ale or Old Fashioned.
