The Whisky Exchange (Patent 5 X Nonsuch)

Mash Bill: 70% Malted Barley, 30% Rye

This small batch whisky release was created as a collaboration between Patent 5 and Nonsuch Brewing. We liked the result so much that it has inspired us to begin a new series of collaboration projects in 2026 with some of Winnipeg’s best breweries. Stay tuned for details on these future whiskies.

Radiger and Erb Wheat Whisky

Manitoba’s last craft distillery, Radiger & Erb, operated from 1876 to 1880, and produced wheat whisky grown exclusively from Manitoba grain. Our whisky, inspired by the original, and crafted with traditional copper stills, carries forward the tradition by using Manitoba grown wheat distilled in Winnipeg. With a mash bill of 50% wheat, 34% malted barley and 16% corn, expect this uniquely Manitoban whisky to provide notes of creamy caramel, ripe red apple and a hint of peppery spice.

100% Rye Whisky Release

Online and in-store sales: August 23, 2024 | OUT OF STOCK

Our next two releases are 100% Rye featuring whisky from two barrels. Each barrel provided distinct characteristics, based on the variety of Rye used, different yeast, as well as different distillation techniques. The barrels were new American Oak and the whisky was aged for more than 4 1/2 years. As we started to work on creating the final spirit profile, we realized that we wanted to feature the full range of the flavours in these two rye whiskies. To that end, we decided to create two different whiskies, with slightly different proportions: one at 56.4% (Cask Strength), and the other at 46%.

This 100% Manitoba Rye whisky has an earthy, fruity flavour profile with spicy rye notes. The finish is extremely smooth with a hint of caramel. If you have ever wondered what true Rye whisky tastes like this is it!

This whisky is best served neat, or with a large ice cube.

The 46% ABV 100% Rye Whisky blend is full of vanilla, caramel and white pepper notes, with sweetness of toasted oat and minerality from the rich Manitoba soil where the rye is grown. This is a true expression of Manitoba Rye!

Manitoba’s ONLY Rum

Our rum is crafted using a unique combination of Crosby’s fancy grade and blackstrap molasses. We distill and ferment the molasses to preserve the character and flavor – a very slow process, worth the wait for a flavorful rum. We age the rum in casks that were used once to age a double-oak bourbon.

This third release of our rum has been aged for just over 2 years.
Double distilled in our custom copper still in traditional Jamaican-style, this release is a full-flavoured, yet smooth rum.
Enjoy it in your favourite tropical cocktail or on ice.

Notes of cola and burnt sugar, in addition to a hint of oak. Serve in your favorite cocktail or enjoy neat or on ice to savor the flavours.
