It’s officially whisky weather, and we Canadians know that there is no better way to embrace the Canadian chill than with good company, getting our toes cold and Canadian made whisky.
Making hand-crafted, small batch single malt style of whisky made for the adventurous whisky loving Canadian, STALK&BARREL is 100% Canadian owned and operated here in Ontario with a grain to glass production that embodies true Canadian spirit and sportsmanship — fitting since they’re the official whisky of Golf Canada.
