Dubh Glas Lockdown Whisky

When Canada went into lockdown, Grant Stevely was prepared.

A Beautiful Man;
A Beautiful Man;

Jay Wheelock was a kind and generous soul, grateful for every opportunity to share his love of whisky with others. He was admired and respected throughout Canada’s whisky world. So, when Jay died unexpectedly in 2020, Canadian whiskydom went into shock.

The Prospector of an Odd Society
The Prospector of an Odd Society

Embedded onto Prospector’s label is a topographic map. Does it lead to a forgotten British Columbia mine or a creek for panning gold? Only when cork is pulled, filling the room with the fragrance of brown sugar, peaches and black cherry, does the map reveal its real treasure – 100% Northern British Columbia rye grain sealed in the bottle.
