Review: Last Mountain Single Cask 100 % Wheat Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on February 15, 2017
The Last Mountain Distillery is Saskatchewan’s first micro distillery. It is owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Colin and Meredith Schmidt. After Colin left his hockey career with the Edmonton Oilers behind, he and his wife, Meredith began to look for business opportunities in Saskatchewan, and the idea of starting up their own micro-distillery still appealed strongly to both of them. To make a long story short, in August of 2010, the ambitions and hard work of Colin and Meredith paid off when they opened Saskatchewan’s first micro-distillery, in Lumsden, Saskatchewan, called the Last Mountain Distillery.
Last Mountain’s Single Cask Wheat Whisky is Saskatchewan’s first Single Cask Wheat Whisky, and it is produced from wheat grown at the Brewster Farm in Earl Grey, SK. The whisky is drawn from a single cask once used bourbon barrel, non blended and non chill filtered. It is bottled at 45 % alcohol by volume.

How long do you let your whisky “breathe” for? My impression is that, in your recent reviews, your tasting notes have included a “rest” period when sipping neat.

It is different for every whisky or rum, but as a rule of thumb I will usually allow one minute of breathing for each year of aging the spirit has. I may allow longer breathing times if the spirit is evolving or shorter if nothing much is happening.

It’s absolutely brilliant!
