The whisky-makers at Macaloney’s believe that this groundbreaking, limited-edition whisky is poised to captivate the whisky community with its unique blend of maritime and smoky flavours, showcasing a remarkable collaboration between BC and Washington State businesses.
The new-make spirit, from which this whisky is matured, has already achieved global acclaim, winning 'World's Best' in blind tastings by industry judges at the prestigious World Whisky Awards in London, UK. This accolade underscores the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that define Macaloney’s.
Priced at £93.99 per bottle, this limited-edition whisky is available for purchase only from the Barrel & Brand Website.
The innovative infusion of sugar kelp, a type of brown seaweed chosen for its fresh maritime aromas and sweet smoke, is sustainably farmed along the coast of British Columbia by Cascadia Seaweed in partnership with coastal First Nations. Seaweed thrives solely on the sea and sunlight, enhancing local ocean ecosystems as it grows. Cascadia Seaweed is dedicated to cultivating and harvesting only what they grow, focusing on transforming their crops into agricultural products and supporting collaborations with other local businesses.
Dr. Graeme Macaloney, the visionary behind this unique whisky, revived traditional peat-smoking methods by studying under experts in his ancestral home of Islay, Scotland. The peat used in this process is sourced from Washington State, reflecting a unique Canada-USA collaboration and the innovative spirit of Macaloney’s Island Distillery.
This inaugural release is matured in Dr. Jim Swan’s Portuguese red wine Shave-Toast-Rechar barriques, adding layers of red berry, caramel-toffee sweetness, and deep oak notes to the whisky’s creamy, velvety mouthfeel, juicy malted barley, and tropical fruit profile. The peat and sugar kelp infusion introduces bonfire, burning heather, sweet smokiness, and pronounced maritime notes, finishing with a hint of salt.
This whisky embodies both the 'terroir' of Macaloney’s Island and the Pacific Northwest and the 'merroir' of Cascadia Seaweed. 'Terroir' refers to the natural environment in which the whisky is produced, including soil, topography, and climate, imparting a distinct taste and flavour to the whisky. 'Merroir', derived from the French word for sea, describes the local conditions in which seaweed is raised. This collaborative whisky marries these elements of land and sea to create an unparalleled sensory experience.
The launch of this sugar kelp-infused peated whisky also marks the second release of Macaloney’s exploration of 'terroir,' trademarked as 'The Peat Project.' Whisky enthusiasts will now have the opportunity to compare this innovative expression with existing Peat Project whiskies, setting the stage for future comparisons with Scottish-Islay peat and Vancouver Island peat.
