Laird of Fintry Tequila Barrel Whisky

Laird of Fintry Tequila Barrel Whisky – Aged 8 1/2 Years

Where single malt tradition meets agave elegance. This extraordinary expression begins with 100% Canadian malted barley, aged for five years in custom virgin white oak barrels to develop its signature depth and character. Then, in a bold twist, our *Gold medal Single Malt is transferred for an additional 3½ years to freshly imported Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo tequila casks—a first for whisky.

The result? A harmonious fusion of rich malt complexity and subtle blue agave warmth, layered with notes of oak, vanilla, and a whisper of tequila’s earthy sweetness. This double-wood masterpiece is more than a whisky; it’s a conversation between two worlds, and it’s no wonder it remains a staff favourite.

Okanagan Spirits’ award-winning Single Malt Lineup:

Our single malt whiskies are the foundation that western Canada’s whisky renaissance was built upon. Grown under the stewardship of our expert agrologist, using only ethical and sustainable growing practices; our barley is born and raised in the fertile soil of our north Okanagan glacial till, to ensure a truly terroir specific profile. To our family, terroir is at the heart of everything we do, and that’s why our whiskies are as linked to the local environment as our very own family heritage.

After harvest from our local fields, the barley is then custom malted prior to being milled, mashed, fermented, and double-distilled in our state-of-the-art copper pot flavour stills. This adherence to a local profile continues through its maturation in our virgin-use, custom toasted and charred white oak casks, that are housed in our barrelhouse where the climate freely fluctuates with the seasons.

*Our 1Malt Single Malt Whisky that goes in the tequila barrel for as additional 3 1/2 years won Gold at the 2025 World Spirits Awards in Germany.
