I've been hearing more and more about whiskies aged in a variety of wine or bourbon barrels resulting in new fruitier and more nuanced tastes. The Cape Breton-based Glenora Distillery
has launched a new whisky called Glen Breton Ice which is the first single malt aged in an ice wine barrels. Glenora sold around 150 bottles at their distillery, the only only single malt whisky distillery in Canada, this summer. The company got the idea to age their whisky in an ice wine barrel by an Asian client (makes sense given the Asian love of ice wine). Glenora received their ice wine barrels from the Jost Winery, in Nova Scotia. Glen Breton Ice will be available in selected
Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. stores for $49.95 for a 250 ml bottle but good luck finding it elsewhere.
