BOMBER BREWING IPA AND DOUBLE IPA WHISKIES🍻

Our Bomber Brewing IPA whiskies are the third and fourth whiskies in our Community collaboration whisky series. Odd Society teamed up with Bomber Brewing, located just a few blocks away in East Van.

The mash is loosely based on their Pacific Northwest IPA. The hops used were Centennial, Chinook, and Cascade hops. For the double IPA, we put Cashmere hops in the gin basket and ran the final spirits vapours through the hops to extract more flavours.

The whiskies are incredibly unique with lots of tropical fruit like mango, pineapple, papaya, on the nose as well as the palate, with lingering pleasing hoppy bitter notes. The Double IPA is definitely more of a flavor bomb, oily and rich, almost gin-like. Try both side by side to choose your favourite.

Order at shop.oddsocietyspirits.com; pickup or purchase at the distillery, and Canada-wide shipping is available:

IPA: 46% ABV 375 ml $40

Double IPA: 50% ABV 375 ml $42

IM-PORT-ANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

PORT-BARREL-AGED WALLFLOWER GIN 🌾 🌿 🍇

The second batch of Port-Barrel-Aged Wallflower Gin is here! The gin is rested in freshly emptied port barrels from Unsworth and Burrowing Owl Wineries for up to 2 years. Each barrel created its own special characteristics and we then combined the spirits for a unique and delicious blend.

The gin begins with notes of prune and stewed fruit with underlying strawberry and cherry flavours. There is also candied citrus with dried cranberries and raisin flavours reminiscent of fruit leather.  This gin is perfect both for sipping on its own or mixed in an enticing cocktail.

Order at shop.oddsocietyspirits.com; pickup or purchase at the distillery, and Canada-wide shipping is available. 375 ml, 44% ABV, $30 (at the distillery)

Odd Society + Wild Thing Mushroom Whisky

Odd Society Spirits + Wild Thing Community Collaboration Porcini & Candy Cap Mushroom Single Malt Whisky

Odd Society is launching a new whisky series called ‘Community Collaborations’. We’ve once again enlisted Shwa Keirstead and David Arias to create a beautiful label depicting these convivial adventures. As with previous collaborations, we explore new flavour combinations with friends and neighbors.

Our first release is a porcini & candy cap mushroom single malt whisky made in collaboration with Wild Thing Snack Bar. In celebration of the opening of Wild Thing’s second location (2420 Main St.), and a shared love of mushrooms, Odd Society’s Joel McNichol and Fraser Pick teamed up with friends Todd Graham and Kody Abrams of Wild Thing to produce a Porcini and Candy Cap Mushroom Single Malt Whisky using mushrooms sourced by David Xiao of Oyster & King.

On the nose, the whisky presents rich notes of butter and dark brown sugar. The first sip reveals a captivating viscosity and a hint of praline pecans balanced with a subtle savoury and woodsy undertone that is further unearthed in its lingering finish. It’s seriously delicious.

Odd Society Spirits + Wild Thing Community Collaboration Porcini & Candy Cap Mushroom Single Malt Whisky will be on the Wild Thing and Odd Society cocktail menus starting Thursday, November 3.

Bottles will also be available at the distillery and select liquor stores starting Thursday, November 3. Packaged in 375 ml bottles and priced at $45, there will be a limit of 2 bottles per person at the distillery. Liquor store prices will vary.

This limited release will be available through our online store shortly after, starting Sunday, November 6.
