Two Rivers Port Cask Bourbon Style

Two Rivers Distillery, based in Calgary, Alberta, focuses on small-batch craft spirits that highlight thoughtful maturation and finishing techniques. Their Port Cask Bourbon Style whisky begins with a bourbon-style grain profile before undergoing finishing in port wine barrels, allowing the whisky to develop deeper fruit character and a richer texture. The port cask influence introduces notes of dark berries, dried fruit, and subtle sweetness while maintaining the vanilla, caramel, and spice typical of bourbon-style whiskies. The result is a unique Canadian interpretation that bridges traditional bourbon structure with wine cask complexity.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Caramel and vanilla layered with ripe dark berries, toasted oak, and a hint of warm baking spice.

Palate: Smooth and rounded with notes of dark cherry, plum, toffee, and honeyed sweetness supported by gentle oak and spice.

Finish: Medium-long with lingering dried fruit, soft caramel, and a touch of warming spice.
