Il Duetto – Canadian Espresso Whisky
This double-wood, espresso-finished 8.5-Year BC Rye whisky delivers impressive complexity with decadent chocolate-malt notes and rich roasted espresso, featuring our favourite Traveller espresso beans.
What makes Il Duetto truly unique?
This is not a mixed drink or simply espresso poured into whisky. Instead, our favourite espresso beans are introduced directly into the cask for a short duration at the end of the aging process. This delicate finishing technique draws out the beautiful flavours and aromas from the beans, creating an authentic espresso finish that is both bold and refined.
Partnering with Rifugio Coffee Roasters was an easy choice. Like us, they’re a small-batch, family-run business that shares our values: supporting the community and crafting only the highest-quality products.
By purchasing this seductively smooth whisky, you’re not only treating yourself—you’re also supporting a wonderful group of local volunteers. A portion of each bottle sale is donated to the champions behind Rene Unser’s inclusive and inspiring P.A.C.E. Trail Run series.
