Sampling Two Brewers ‘Yukon’ Single Malt Whiskies – Two Batches That Are Completely Different But Also Completely Fantastic!

November 29, 2023 by Gary Leave a Comment

Batch 38 and Batch 41!

Two Brewers was founded by two engineers and old friends, Alan Hansen and Bob Baxter who started a craft brewery in Whitehorse, Canada.
Yukon Brewing was established in 1997 and in 2009 the two brewers purchased a still to take their craft brewing journey onwards to the next level.

Their whiskies are distilled in small batches using different fermentation techniques and a mix of barrels. By exploring different production methods no two releases are the same, and each release has a unique character of its own.

Robert from Highfern.com has kindly sent me two new release Whiskies to try from the Two Brewers range – Thanks Robert!

They are:-

Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky: Batch 38 Peated
Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky: Batch 41 Special Finishes

So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

Tasting Notes – Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky: Batch 38 Peated (43%)

Created by blending peated and unpeated spirit matured for at least ten years in former bourbon casks.
A limited edition of 960 x 750ml and 90 x 700ml bottles.

Nose: Sweet, earthy gentle peat with fruity apple and shades of citrus.

Palate: Whispers of smokey peat with some sugary fruit including apple and lemon.

Finish: Modest antiseptic and a little chilli.

Overall: Not your usual peated dram – rather a lighter, gentler, tamer version that is ideal for first timers – a real joy of a dram and one to savour!

Tasting Notes – Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky: Batch 41 Special Finishes (43%)

Initially matured in former bourbon casks, then finished for two years in former Pedro Ximenéx sherry casks.
A limited edition of 1050 x 750ml and 90 x 700ml bottles.

Nose: Rich, stewed fruits with sweet toffee apples, chocolate, some coffee and vanilla pastry.
Palate: Luscious toffee apple with sweet, syrupy prunes, chocolate, a little lemon citrus.
Finish: Gentle growing pepper but it’s smooth, creamy and sweet all the way with this dram!
Overall: A great Christmas whisky with lush, sweet, fruity flavours – very moreish!

Many thanks to highfern.com (@HighfernLtd) for sending two amazing, but different, drams!

Sampling Two Brewers ‘Yukon’ Single Malt Whisky – A No Nonsense Dram That Your Senses Will Say Yes Too!

March 3, 2023 by Gary Leave a Comment

Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky!

Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky – Release 35!

Like the best things in life the Two Brewers story starts with a canoe trip and a campfire. Talking late into the night, engineers and old friends, Alan Hansen and Bob Baxter hatched a plan for a craft brewery in Whitehorse, Canada. Yukon Brewing was established in 1997. Fast forward to 2009 and the two brewers purchased a still to take their craft brewing journey to the next level.

‘Yukon’ is a limited edition of 132

Applying their brewing expertise Two Brewers is distilled in small batches using different fermentation techniques and a mix of barrels. By exploring different production methods no two releases are the same, and each has a unique character of its own. Our first release from Two Brewers in the UK is from their Classic line, Release 35.

No tricks or traps, this is a no nonsense Canadian Single Malt Whisky from the Yukon. Release 35 has been created from a marriage of whisky distilled from fourteen different mashes matured in ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks, all matured for at least eight years.

In the 2023 Canadian Whisky Awards Two Brewers was named Artisan Producer of the Year, and Release 35 was awarded Gold.

Robert from Highfern.com (@HighfernLtd) has kindly sent me a sample to try – Many thanks!

Two Brewers Bob Baxter and Alan Hansen

So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

Tasting Notes – Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky – Release 35 (46%)

Bottled in August 2022, this is a limited edition of 132 numbered 700ml bottles (a further 959 750ml bottles were releases in Canada).

Nose: Toffee, red wine and sherry, green apples with shades of lemon citrus followed by sweet spices and chocolate.

Palate: Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with toffee, hints of apple with sherry, sweet chocolate and a touch of coconut.

Finish: Hot pepper with some chilli spice but the sweetness of the toffee and chocolate keeps it in check.

Overall: A cracking dram with bags of character and a fine balance of sweet and spicy flavours.

Crown Royal Xr Extra Rare Canadian Whisky

September 14, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Crown Royal Xr Extra Rare Canadian Whisky

75cl / 40% – A very special edition of Crown Royal released in 2006, XR was created using the last batch of rare whiskies from former owners Seagram’s Waterloo distillery in Ontario, much of which was destroyed by fire in 1993 shortly after the distillery had closed for the last time. This is a true one-off, unrepeatable bottling with a terrific reputation amongst fans of Canadian whisky.

The Whisky Exchange	Ardbeg 17 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: 17 Year Old Strength: 40% Summary: 70cl / 40% / Distillery Bottling – A tad less peaty than early bottlings, the classic Ardbeg 17yo is still a great whisky, but is sadly becoming very thin on the ground as demand increases and supply runs low – it's now a good few years since owners Glenmorangie discontinued it. The first bottling of this sparked the revival of Ardbeg's fortunes after the takeover by Glenmorangie.	70cl	£ 299.00 BUY NOW

Rich and smouldering, with a big coal hit and a lingering seaweed character. We said at the time that this was tremendous stuff, and now it's only gone and won the IWSC Trophy for Best Cask Strength Single Malt.	70cl	£ 260.00 BUY NOW
The Whisky Exchange	Pig's Nose Miniature Blended Scotch Whisky Country: Scotland Region: Age: Strength: 40% Summary: 5cl / 40% – A miniature of Pig's Nose's blended Scotch whisky.	5cl	£ 4.49 BUY NOW
