Vancouver’s Liberty Distillery released their newest spirit today, and their first whiskey. Railspur No. 1 is a triple-distilled in a single copper pot still from malt white whiskey, and bottled at 47% abv. The malt used is 100% organic barley grown in Armstrong, British Columbia.

Liberty opened its doors in November 2013, and the Railspur No. 1 White Whiskey joins their existing vodka. The distillery describes Railspur No. 1 as having a nose of “rich barley, beeswax, and honeycomb,” and a flavor of “full-bodied honey and whole meal biscuit.” The whiskey is available in 375 ml, 50 ml, 750 ml, and 1.75 l botttles.

Railspur is the first whiskey from Liberty’s Master Distiller Laurent LaFuente, but not its last. Trust Whiskey is due out in 2016, and in the meantime Liberty has a new gin slated for spring 2014.
