Three ages, one place.

Three Canadian whiskies from High River: wheat at five years, wheat and corn at fifteen, corn at twenty-five. Compare their grains, strengths and tasting notes to find your bottle.

The expressions

What time does to grain.

Three distinct whiskies, with different grains, ages and strengths. Cereal and vanilla in the Five, orchard fruit and baking spice in the Fifteen, oak and dark fruit in the Twenty-Five.

The aging arc

The slow part.

Everything past the still is waiting, done carefully and counted in years. Here is the wait, at three depths.

  1. Year Five.

    Prairie wheat, distilled clean. Five years is enough for vanilla to bloom and the cereal to soften, but not so long that the grain disappears. The wheat still speaks.

  2. Year Fifteen.

    Wheat and corn, aged fifteen years and bottled at 43% alc./vol. Honey, orchard fruit, toasted oak and baking spice. Choose the Fifteen when fruit and spice are the flavours you look for.

  3. Year Twenty-Five.

    Prairie corn, laid down in 2001. Twenty-five years of patience, a slow conversation between grain and wood, finished long after most stills have moved on. The halo of the lineage.

The cask programme

Wood, weather, and waiting.

Nothing here is blended across vintages. The Five, the Fifteen, and the Twenty-Five each leave their own casks at their own age, and that age is the only one on the label. The barrels are the long-aged spec Highwood has filled for decades, racked in an on-site rickhouse that holds the years steady and lets each age finish in its own time.
