Barnburner Whisky

Barnburner is a prominent Canadian whisky brand developed by Maverick Distillery, based in Oakville, Ontario. Launched as a bold alternative to traditional spirits, the flagship Barnburner Whisky is uniquely double-aged, utilizing both corn and rye grain whiskies. The spirit is aged for three years in oak barrels and then finished in freshly dumped Kentucky bourbon barrels to achieve its signature profile—a blend of classic Canadian smoothness with the distinct char and vanilla notes associated with American bourbon.

While the primary product is distilled and aged in Ontario using local Canadian grains, the brand family has expanded to include international collaborations. For instance, the 'Prohibition Release' involves sourcing high-quality Kentucky whiskey that is subsequently imported and bottled in Ontario. This approach allows the brand to maintain its identity as a 'Maverick' in the industry, blending international traditions with Canadian craftsmanship. The brand remains under the private ownership of its original creator, Maverick Distillery Limited.
