OBTAINIUM Canadian Whiskey Our OBTAINIUM Canadian Whisky is a 26 year, 100% corn whisky. Distilled at around 160 proof, aged in used Rye casks by Palliser Distillery. Each barrel is bottled individually at barrel strength.
What is OBTAINIUM and why do we do it? OBTAINIUM is exactly what the name implies. We “obtain” barrels from distilleries all over the world. Including the US, Europe, Canada, and The Caribbean. We source these spirits of varying types, light whiskey, rye, bourbon, etc. to create our own blends and products. These products are bottled at either barrel strength or blended to create our signature flavors. That being said, all of our creations, whether it’s a single barrel bottling or one of our blended products, will be unique either to that particular barrel or batch. No two will ever be “exactly” the same. We strive to ensure flavor consistency
throughout every batch of our blends to give our fans confidence and the comfort of familiarity. That paired with slight variances in each batch, brings a sense of anticipation for the next batch.

Cat’s Eye Distillery is a small family-owned micro-distillery whose mission is to create truly EPIC tasting products and truly unique sourced products made from high-quality barrels from around the globe that provide higher value than our competitors. John Baker, one of the owners, previously worked at Honey Creek Distillery in Van Buren County where he gained his initial experience distilling products. Since then he has done considerable research and met with owners of 22 different micro-distilleries in Colorado to see what works and what does not work. After much experimenting, they released their first whiskey product, “Essence of Iowa” followed by “Krupnik”.
When deciding on a name for the distillery John’s wife Linda said to be true to his heart and name it after something that he truly liked to do. John is a member of the Quad Cities Astronomical Society and one of John’s favorite hobbies is astrophotography so he decided to name it after one of the Hubble space telescope’s greatest pictures of deep-sky object NGC-6543, better known as the Cat’s Eye Nebula. Linda liked the name but said that not too many people would understand the logo so they took a picture of their daughter’s cat, Maui, and “Wah-Lah!”, the perfect logo!
