So Good It'll Turn You Canadian 🍁 - FOUND NORTH BATCH 009 19yr CASK STRENGTH WHISKY

[@peterwhite507]

The barrels are purchased from Valleyfield distillery in Montreal or Paliser (Black Velvet) distillery in Alberta. Blended and rebarreled at Found North and finished in the casks noted on the website.

You guys deserve 5 or 6 million. You two are beyond awesome !

[@otbwhiskey]

Aww we very much appreciate that, thank you 🙌🏻

[@richiewiernogi]

I believe the guys who started this were out of the Boston area, Somerville. It's two brothers who, during COVID, were like, hey, let's start up a whiskey company. They found a bunch of really old Canadian stock and bought it up. The blends are consistently stellar and unique and fly under the tater radar. If you can find a 007, it's pretty amazing. You guys are great and just downright fun to watch; really loving the channel.

[@otbwhiskey]

Well that is pretty awesome actually. We appreciate the info and the kind words! 🙌🏻

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Rare form in the first 90 seconds. 😂 We’re huge Found North fans. They source 100% grain whisky from Canada (fully aged 100% corn, 100% rye, 100% malted barley whiskies) and blend those fully matured whiskies into a derived mashbill (and then do any additional finishing after that). Very unique in the space of Canadian whisky to do this and release such high age statements, especially at cask strength.

[@otbwhiskey]

Good to know and thanks for that info. I am clearly terrible at Googling lol. I'm definitely on the Found North train now though and gonna be actively chasing future releases for sure 😅

[@FantasySoldier]

Just found your channel recently and have been trying to catch up on your videos! You guys are great!! Found North bottles are great. I have batches 3, 5, and 6. I just won the lottery for the opportunity to buy batch 10. The fact that they are now using a lottery system for their releases just shows how good they are!

[@otbwhiskey]

So glad to hear it! I too got lucky with the lottery this time around and very excited to try batch 10. Really appreciate you hanging out with us, welcome aboard! 🥃

Ruby Port is the freshest and least complex of fortified wines, deep red in color and filled with sweet flavors of red fruits. Ruby Port is made from wine produced from a blend of red grapes, fortified and aged no more than three years to maintain its fresh flavor and brilliant color.

[@dcjenner]

Bearface is pretty interesting. Signal is cheap and good, if you get the cask strength.

[@dannymurzea]

Your guys intros are honestly the best 😂

[@bobbartnick]

You two are the best! I always learn and laugh with each episode. I’ve told at least one, maybe two people about the channel - so we should have you from 3K+ to 5M - 6M subscribers in no time!

[@Mikejames602]

You must try this again but with a drop or 2 of water. Nick from Found North call that “Manage Proof” which is his preferred method with this batch

[@Slygrin1]

Another Canadian whiskey distilled in Canada and finished in the US is Pendleton. It was my gateway whiskey. While I've mostly moved on to other whiskey's, it still has a place in my heart. The 20 year is very nice.

[@otbwhiskey]

Ah I’ve seen various Pendletons out and about but never actually tried one yet…May need to give it a shot soon 🥃

[@DaveVogelsang-b8v]

Just found Batch 9 about a month ago. Really enjoy it. I have liked every Found North I have, which are batches 1, and 5-9. I have paid $150 each for batches 5-9. 🥃

[@otbwhiskey]

Wow that’s a nice lot to have. Some of the secondary pricing is a bit crazy but I would gladly pay around $150 for any future releases 👍🏻

[@markbranstetter850]

This is so great. Thanks for sharing your experience. The rose water acknowledgement was so satisfying. There needs to be an acknowledgement above a thumbs up.

whisk whisk whiskey! not just your regular whiskey, but whisk whisk whiskey!

Holy crap. I totally owned that cologne in high school.

[@dannythornton4527]

Found North is legit...funny video! You guys crack me up

[@otbwhiskey]

Thanks, Danny! Glad you enjoyed it 🥃

[@henrieliot]

Hello from New Zealand! You should try whisky from here. I like Shelter Point from BC Canada. Great videos!

[@otbwhiskey]

Welcome! 👋🏻 Hoping to get out hands on a Pōkeno release soon 🤞🏻...and never heard of Shelter Point but will check that out as well! Cheers 🥃

[@henrieliot]

@@otbwhiskey Pokeno is a great distillery near Auckland. I also recommend Cadrona in the South Island and Waiheke Whisky Distillery as well.

[@Slygrin1]

I love you guys humor and style. Have you thought about expanding to reviewing other type of stuff? Music, movies or shoes? Just asking...

[@stuartc4]

What is the correct age for having pocket trinkets? Also, I can't believe how reticent you guys are to add water to a whiskey.

[@otbwhiskey]

I (Dustin) say trinkets in pockets are for all ages! As for adding a bit of water, honestly I think we forget that it’s even an option sometimes…but now that you mention it I will try to remember to give it a shot in the next one! 👍🏻

[@stuartc4]

I think for these high proof whiskeys it might save Kalyn a few nostril hairs. If you use a pipette it makes it kind of fun as well.

Lot 40 Cask strength, Wisers 22 or 23 year old cask strength are both amazing bottles too! The Lot 40 Cask Strength is 95% unmalted Rye and 5% Malted rye. The Wisers is usually a blend of corn and rye.

[@peterwhite507]

Wisers released a 24 year cask strength in the US.

[@otbwhiskey]

I’m gonna need deeper pockets 💸😅

[@jtf2dan]

@@otbwhiskey That Found North bottle cost just as much if not more than the ones I recommended....besides now you got the youtube bucks rolling in! LOL 💎🤪

[@jeffscalfano3100]

Lol... batch 10 is dropping soooon! And looks like ill be parting with another $150 - $200. Ill also backup my batch 9 if i can hunt one down.

[@madreamer]

200 bucks a bottle? worth it?

[@Watchman999]

Just don’t forget that sugar water, brandy and mezcal along with mediocre corn distillate is a beautiful rye in this country.

[@peterwhite507]

They will never understand that sarcasm. lol

[@nickschuster3561]

You are part Canadian with the red flannel. 5mil by year end! Great video!

[@otbwhiskey]

I was chopping some firewood earlier so obviously a red checkered flannel is the only acceptable choice. I’m optimistic we’ll reach 5mil by Thanksgiving 🤞🏻

[@paolopatrick5824]

[@Zordy21]

I only know about a million people, but I’ll get em all to sub. Trying to help 😅

[@jtf2dan]

Not too many Canadian whiskies are 91% corn....so that might explain the different taste.

[@peterwhite507]

Actually most Canadian Whisky are corn with rye blended in. Wisers 23 will use the 1/11 rule younger rye to maintain the age statement.

[@jtf2dan]

@@peterwhite507 The Lot 40s I recommend are 100% rye, Alberta Distilleries focuses mostly on rye in their products, Highwood distillery uses mostly wheat in their products, but yes most distilleries blend corn and rye, just not sure most of them are 91% corn or over...

[@peterwhite507]

@@jtf2dan I know, I own multiples of L40 11 and 12 and the entire line, even the horrible peated and Port finished versions. The old Highwood Ninety 20, Stampede 25, Can Century 21 year. were all Potters Corn. When it comes to the 1/11 rule Wisers 22,23, and Canadian Club Chronicles (41-44 years) releases added rye and a couple Chronicles added Cognac and sherry but younger. That way they could maintain the age statement on the bottle. As you know the 1/11 rule does not effect the age statement as it does not have to be even mentioned.

[@JonFTC]

well you get the fire note from all the wildfires from canada letting their forests burn!

[@donstilton4355]

Strange that you review Batch 9 on the night of the lottery for batch 10.

[@otbwhiskey]

100% honest coincidence. I had absolutely no idea a lottery was even happening for the next batch until I saw this comment, googled it and signed up just before it closed! 🤞🏻 So thank you 🙌🏻🥃

[@donstilton4355]

@@otbwhiskey Hope you did better than I did.

[@ciarangallagher2729]

Just saw a video of yours where you tried a whiskey that you had opened three years ago, down to less than a quarter full and hadn't a cork. Those are simply unsuitable conditions for tasting a whiskey. Just a purely amicable suggestion.

[@ryanmillar9607]

1% rye? Why?

[@ryanmillar9607]

Oops, barley.

[@peterwhite507]

@@ryanmillar9607 Because a minimum 19 year barley casks are hard to come by in Canada. The Rye % is being going down as well since those aged casks are getting rarer. Hyper aged corn whiskey barrels in Canada are a dime a dozen (Just ask Cat's Eye distillery). I would think that Found North is buying casks with less age and maturing them in their warehouse.

[@bdwilcox]

The problem with most Canadian whiskies is that they're Canadian whiskey,

[@christopherryan7654]

Corn. It's hilarious!

It's a Canadian whisky that Canadians can't buy in Canada which is about the dumbest and most frustrating thing I have experienced chasing whisky. Grrrrrr.

Whaaaat they don’t distribute to Canada! 🤯
