3 Grain Whiskey - St-Laurent Distillery

The pioneers of the St. Laurent Distillery are dusting off the tradition of Canadian whisky - often perceived abroad as bland and boring - with an eccentric approach that blends styles.

Because the mash is fermented on grain, the aromas of Quebec cereals are fully expressed. After two distillations in a Scottish-style copper pot still, a rich spirit is obtained, with complex nuances and an oily body. The distillate is then aged for three years in new, charred oak barrels, much like a typical American whisky. A reimagined Appalachian classic, this Quebec whisky is made with corn from the Montérégie region, as well as rye and malted barley from the Lower St. Lawrence.
