Just Landed: Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky

Like the best things in life the Two Brewers story starts with a canoe trip and a campfire. Talking late into the night, engineers and old friends, Alan Hansen and Bob Baxter hatched a plan for a craft brewery in Whitehorse, Canada. Yukon Brewing was established in 1997. Fast forward to 2009 and the two brewers purchased a still to take their craft brewing journey to the next level. 

Applying their brewing expertise Two Brewers is distilled in small batches using different fermentation techniques and a mix of barrels. By exploring different production methods no two releases are the same, and each has a unique character of its own. Our first release from Two Brewers in the UK is from their Classic line, Release 35. 

No tricks or traps, this is a no nonsense Canadian Single Malt Whisky from the Yukon. Release 35 has been created from a marriage of whisky distilled from no less than fourteen different mashes, matured in ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks, all matured for at least eight years. 

Bottled in August 2022, Release 35 is a limited edition of 132 numbered 700ml bottles (a further 959 750ml bottles were releases in Canada).

In the 2023 Canadian Whisky Awards Two Brewers was named Artisan Producer of the Year, and Release 35 was awarded Gold. 

Amongst others Two Brewers Release 35 is now available from Gauntleys of Nottingham, the Lincoln Whisky Shop, The Whisky Exchange, and on Highfern.com
