Lock Stock & Barrel's 21-year-old bottle wears its age well.

Speaking of which, the whiskey could really be called “whisky” since it’s sourced from Canada, or “cold weather matured” as the brand puts it. The distillery is undisclosed, but Alberta Distillers is a likely suspect, as it is for WhistlePig and many other brands that release Canadian rye. And that’s why this whiskey tastes good even with over two decades of maturation—aging in the cooler climate up north means less interaction between whiskey and wood.

The packaging of this whiskey is fetching, as it should be when you’re dropping at least half a grand. The bottle is black, like the other Lock Stock & Barrel expressions, and comes in a wooden box charred in the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban process, a technique used to preserve wood. About 1,200 cases have been released, so this shouldn’t be as hard to find as some other limited-edition releases so you can try for yourself to see how this rye whiskey stands up to over two decades in a barrel.
