A first for the South Okanagan’s premium wine and whisky industry, Glen Neamh Whisky Co. and Stoneboat Vineyards have created a one-of-a-kind, limited edition, Single Barrel Release featuring Single Malt Canadian Whisky finished in one of the only Pinotage casks available in Canada. The second release in the Desert-Aged, Experimental Cask Series, Glen Neamh Whisky Co. and Stoneboat Vineyards have collaborated to offer up a five-year single malt Canadian whisky finished in a Stoneboat Vineyards Reserve Pinotage American oak cask.
“A collaboration like no other, pairing the Pinot obsessed Stoneboat Vineyards exclusive Pinotage with a single barrel of desert-aged is an exceptional highlight for the south Okanagan wine region and tribute to what this area can produce,” said Glen Neamh Whisky Co. founder, Jamie Crain.
The second drop of this south Okanagan wine and whisky project took place on June 6.
“Stoneboat is a winery with a history of collaboration, partnering with wineries, grape growers and the south Okanagan community to produce handcrafted wines. In the south Okanagan, a region of hard work and strong community spirit, there is no other way,” said Andrew Young, general manager of Stoneboat Vineyards. “So, when Glen Neamh Whisky Co. approached us, we were excited to say the least. We appreciate the whisky they make, but [just] as significantly, we appreciate their quality-focused process. They have demonstrated a commitment to delivering whisky of the highest quality, while celebrating the unique spirit of our home.”
