Seventh Anniversary Whisky

Rum-finished Wheat Whisky (single barrel)
62% Wheat / 38% Malted Barley
750mL @ 55.3% ABV

Another year, another carefully selected barrel to celebrate the day we opened our doors!

This year we chose a wheat whisky that spent three years in new oak before being transferred to a recently emptied Patent 5 rum barrel for an additional 18 months. Now four and a half years old, it offers an elegant option to celebrate your own milestones.

This whisky was bottled at near cask strength to maximize the depth of flavour in every sip. We love how the natural sweetness of the wheat and the depth of the malted barley play together. Notes of coconut, cedar, and dark chocolate are prominent on the nose. Oak tannins provide initial dryness on the palate before giving way to the rum influence, which softens and extends the finish. We hope you love it as much as we do.

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.

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.

100% Rye Whisky Release

Returning August 2026

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!
