Review: Great Plains Cognac Casks 22 Year Old Canadian Whisky

Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 27, 2023

Great Plains Craft Spirits are a small spirits company located in Calgary, Alberta. They are a small company which sources special whiskies for blending and finishing. The intent is to offer to the marketplace limited edition bottlings which feature custom blending and cask finishes. I reviewed their first offering, a stunning 18 year old Brandy Cask whiskey in 2020, and was contacted this year to see if I wanted to taste and review their latest offering,  Great Plains Cognac Casks 22 Year Old Canadian Whisky.

This new release is a 100 % corn spirit produced from stocks which were part of the last barrels of whisky from the Potter’s Distillery in British Colombia. Only 165 cases of this whisky were produced as the release was drawn from the last 3 remaining casks of the original barrel selection which Great Plains had acquired.  The corn whisky was originally aged for 17 years in ex bourbon barrels and then finished in for sixty months in ex-cognac barrels which it turns out had previously held cognac for a full 25 years.

Here is a link to my full review:

Review: Great Plains Cognac Casks 22 Year Old

“… The initial breezes above the glass bring me rich oak and oak spice, caramel toffee, baking spices, bits of orange marmalade and toasted corn cobs. As I enjoy the aroma, the oak and spice keep building and building bringing impressions of fresh wood sap and waving fields of dry grain …”

Please enjoy the review of this spectacular new whisky from Great Plains!

Chimo!
