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.

Signal Hill is the name of a relatively new Canadian Whisky partially owned by Canadian actor Dan Aykroyd, the Blues Brother who also owns a stake in Crystal Head Vodka.
Last Mountain Single Cask Single Malt Whisky is produced in small batches at the Last Mountain Distillery in Lumsden Saskatchewan. I have been following the progress of this distillery since it first came to my attention when they opened their doors as Saskatchewan’s first micro-distillery in August of 2010. Back then, the Last Mountain Distillery was run by its two principals, Colin and Meredith Schmidt, the husband wife team who co-founded the operation. They began by selling vodka and whisky, and I was fortunate enough to be able to taste and review some of their earliest offerings.
