Batch 011’s profile is the closest we have made to Batch 002. In many ways, Batch 011 revisits the heritage of Found North. You might think Batch 001 is our origin, but it was simply the first whisky we made. Batch 002 much more accurately represents the seeds of what Found North has become. When we started Found North, our plan was to make rye dominant blends. Accordingly, Batch 001 was 66% rye, 30% corn and 4% malted barley. However, while creating Batch 002, we continued to iterate and found that our best blend was 80% corn, 19% rye and 1% malted barley. It was a delightful Batch and recharted the course of Found North.
Since releasing Batch 001 and Batch 002, we have made one blend akin to Batch 001 and six blends with similar profiles and grain ratios to Batch 002. Batch 002 reverberates through the history of Found North.
The excellence of Batch 002 was not in the dynamism of the blend itself (it only contained 3 components) but rather it was rooted in the richness and elegance of how the flavors compliment one another, creating a wholly new expression of flavor.

Found North Whisky
Our goal is to make whisky so delicious and resonant that it shines a light on northern whisky-making. We blend Canadian whisky because its entire purpose from distillation through maturation is to produce quality components for the blender. As blenders, we have access to a diverse range of old, well-made whiskies from which we can further mature and blend the whisky that we want to drink right now.
Blending defines Canadian whisky—yet, unlike many large Canadian whisky brands, our goal isn’t to make a smooth and easy-drinking product for the mass market. We’re inspired by rich, complex, and tongue-tingling whiskies that quicken the senses and enliven the taste buds. We don’t use coloring or additives and we release non-chill filtered batches at cask strength.
With every batch we create, our bond with Canadian whisky grows stronger and our senses sharper. In blending, we are meticulous. We fret about single percentage points, because we believe the quality of Found North can inspire a new renaissance of Canadian enthusiasm.
Close your eyes and inhale. Dense aromatics of earthy baking spice, sweet wood phenols and creamy herbal notes abound. Batch 011 walks you through an ancient forest of pinewood and vanilla beans. Each step deeper into the woodlands gives a distinct impression of honeycomb, charred tree sap and lychee tea. Each breath presents a swirl of cedar, blackberry currant and maple candy.
Batch 011 lands thick, like caramel meandering across the top of chocolate lava cake. The warmth grows in concert with the emerging cinnamon and nutmeg. The mid-palate softens into creamy, burnt marshmallow phenolics with savory mint tea, sweetened by melting rock candy. Resonant clove and graham cracker notes build into the finish, followed by a brandied cherry dipped in molasses that slowly crystallizes on the back of your tongue.
