Sortilège Original

1,100 days in oak, then maple.

Sortilège Original is Canadian whisky blended with Quebec maple syrup. Station 22 lists it at 30% alcohol, in 750 ml, 375 ml and 50 ml bottles. The SAQ page for the 750 ml calls the producer Maison des Futailles Station 22 and prints Product of Québec, bottled in Québec.

Thirty percent, not a sip of cream. The Dandurand Group, a Canadian family company, became the majority owner of Station 22 on 14 October 2022. The bottling plant named in that release is in Montreal.
