Naranja Single Malt Cask Release

From the Alberta foothills to the orange-lined streets of southern Spain. Naranja Cask Release brings together two places and two traditions: our single malt from the Alberta foothills and a fortified orange wine from Andalucía.

The Casks

In Andalucía, Vino de Naranja is a tradition generations in the making. Bitter Seville oranges are dried and infused into fortified wine, slowly releasing their aromatic oils and balancing vibrant citrus bitterness with rich sweetness.

The wine is matured in a solera, a traditional system where younger and older wines are gradually married together over time. Gentle oxidation adds layers of nuttiness, warmth and complexity, and all of it settles into the seasoned oak. Those are the casks our whisky calls home for its final three years.

The Foothills

Back home, Naranja Cask Release starts with 100% Alberta malted barley and glacial water from the Sheep River. It spends five years in ex-bourbon oak, more than 4,000 feet above sea level, where Chinook winds and sharp temperature swings push the whisky deep into the wood and back out again. It then rests for a further three years in the Naranja casks, taking on candied orange, warming spice and bittersweet citrus.

The Bottle

Non-chill filtered, with no added colour, and bottled at 52.5% alc./vol. Vibrant and warming, it opens with candied orange, settles into mature oak and ends with a long, bittersweet citrus finish.

Nose Bright citrus oils and candied orange peel, with leather, hay and vanilla developing over time
Taste Layered marmalade and citrus, warming oak and spice, butterscotch, vanilla custard and baked fruits, with toasted almonds, cinnamon bark and dark toffee
Finish Long and evolving, with candied orange, sweet oak spice and caramelized citrus peel fading into subtle smoke

THE EAU CLAIRE DISTILLERY DIFFERENCE

The elements come together

Every drop we make at Eau Claire Distillery embodies the unique provenance of our Turner Valley home. Rich Alberta soil yielding prized Alberta barley. Glacial melt flowing from Mount Rae’s Sheep River to bring clear water.

Altitude & Horse Power

Our high altitude location gives us the Angels’ Gift of amplified flavour, with more interaction between distillate and wood. We harness nature’s bounty using both old world horse farming methods and new world distilling techniques. Groundbreaking with tradition to lead the way in Canadian whisky. 

From Farm to Glass

Every one of our small batch whiskies is produced using barley we grow and harvest ourselves. Unlike most distilleries, we raise our whisky from seed and see it through to round, complex and balanced drops.
