TWO BREWERS Classic No 31 (2022) | Yukon Single-Malt Whisky (Canada)
QUICK TIMING : 0:00 Intro & about Two Brewers distillery & range / 21:55 Two Brewers « Classic » No 31 (nosing & tasting) / 31:26 A comparison with 2 other Canadian whiskies : Shelter Point « Artisanal » & J.P. Wiser’s « Canada 2018 » (more precise bottle details & time stamps below)

VIDEO PRESENTATION :

For this new video, we’re going to North West of Canada, and in Yukon in particular (Whitehorse located), to discover a brewery & distillery, Two Brewers aka Yukon Brewing, a company founded in 1997 by Bob Baxter and Alan Hansen, initially as a brewing company, but extended in 2009 to distilling as well, and now propose 3 core range small batch releases (even if they’re all limited in quantity & bearing different numbers), the « Classic », the « Peated » (30) & the « Innovative » (32) & special finishes. In France we can get for now only the 3 first mentioned. I tried those three last year, so, after my review of the « Classic » No 31, I will also give you my quick thoughts about the two others & end with a comparison with the only other Canadian single-malt I know, Shelter Point…Thanks again to Andy’s samples (Foodquig) for Shelter Point & to Dave Gardner from Two Brewers & also to Andrew Ferguson from Kensington Wine Market (link to his live show about Two Brewers below). Thanks also to Sébastien Juhel, their French distributor (BackPack Spirit) who helped me get the bottle (I purchased it fully). I forgot to tell you my rating for this bottle : 89/100

You can also find some of my summarized tasting notes about this company in my Instagram report about Whisky Live Paris 2022 as they had a stand there for the very first time I believe (account name : « gregswhiskyguide »): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmevUJouJo4&t=9s

Probably the best book about Canadian Whisky, from David De Kergommeaux :
