The first in a series of single-cask malt whiskies that explore the relationship between flavour and music. Each limited edition “Mixtape” is named for the style of music that the team believes it pairs perfectly with, starting with Psych Rock. We’ve created a whisky with an exciting tracklist of flavours that is sure to inspire you to put on your favourite records from artists like Joplin, Hendrix, and Tame Impala. An epic collaboration between The Strath & Fementorium – the distilling arm of Phillips Brewing. Two local Victoria legends who certainly know a thing or two about both music and whisky.

This brash and exciting whisky gave us sharp yuzu and spicy black pepper notes that struck us like an echoey and distorted electric guitar. A nutty and black cherry undertone kept a unique and evocative bass line. Turn off the lights and crank up the volume.

Malted Copeland 15 barley from Michell’s Farm in Saanich, fermented with London Ale yeast for 6 days in stainless steel.

Aged for over eight years and then bottled at cask strength on April 18, 2024. No added colour or chill-filtration. A yield of 164 bottles, with 34.7% of the cask lost to the angels.
