Devine Distillery's 'Ancient Grain Whiskey' is a premium "alternative whiskey" that merges new-world techniques with old-world ingredients and flavors. As its name suggests, the new expression is distilled from ancient grains, including emmer, khorosan, BC barley, and spelt.
In addition, the spirit is aged in new American oak quarter barrels and blended with other modern grains. As a result of this blending, Ancient Grain Whiskey features a one-of-a-kind flavor profile that conjures aromas of clove, allspice, and smoke. In addition, it blends these aromas with the taste of candied fruit, macadamia nuts, and raw vanilla.
Devine Distillery's unique whiskey recently won both the Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition 2022 for 'Spirit of the Year' and the Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition 2022 with 'Gold with Distinction, Best in Class & Excellence in Terroir.'
