, and introduced its entirely on-site produced FarmStock expressions a few years ago.
Which brings us to this new whiskey called The Beholden . Like other WhistlePig expressions, this was distilled in Canada. Reps for the brand won’t reveal exactly where this single malt was born, just that it was made at “the first single malt distillery in Canada 21 years ago.” A likely suspect is Glenora in Cape Breton, a distillery that has been making whiskey since the early ’90s.
Wherever it sprang forth, the whiskey was aged in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in WhistlePig 10 Year Rye barrels for an additional four weeks—naturally, there’s a rye connection here. This is a single barrel release, and the initial launch came from just 18 casks and is bottled at 92 proof. We got to sample The Beholden for ourselves, and found it to be a decadent, dessert-like dram. The nose is rich with maple and honey, as well as just a touch of oak.
At 21 years old, this whiskey spent much longer inside a barrel than pretty much every other American single malt available, but there are certainly other Canadian expressions that rival or surpass this age statement. You can find The Beholden starting today at the WhistlePig online, as well as other retailers, with an SRP of $800.
