Finally, their “Coffee Whisky Liqueur” is one of their best sellers. It has the sweet indulgent tastes of honey, choco- late, vanilla and nougat against a palette of mild Canadian whisky. A rich and creamy texture. The finish boasts a lin- gering sweet coffee and vanilla that finally fade to a classic dry coffee bean ending. One of the features that sets Wolfhead products apart from many other distilled spirits is how they incorporate the resources found in their own backyard into produc- ing the unique flavours — ones that push the boundaries of standard Canadian Spirits. In fact, one distinct local resource is the neighbouring Amherstburg quarry. It is the supplier of limestone-treated water used in the production of all Wolfhead spirits. Manhertz explains, “We are taking advantage of one of the biggest limestone deposits in North America right across the street from us here. So we are using the limestone to filter our water, much like Grey Goose does. If you’ve ever read the back of one of their bottles, it says it’s filtered in Champagne limestone, which is just a region in France, really. And a lot of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail guys use limestone-filtered water as well.”
