Cross the world’s best whiskey off your wish list - it’s sold out at every location in Manitoba.
The hot Manitoba-made whiskey will not be restocked until the new year.
A limited number of the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye were made available Tuesday morning and people lined up early to purchase a bottle.
The product, distilled in Gimli, Manitoba, was named the World Whiskey of the year for 2016 in Jim Murray's "Whiskey Bible.”
According to Murray’s website, it is rare that a Canadian product has won the top prize.
“This year, doubtless there will be many more eyebrows raised because rarely is Canada mentioned when it come to the world’s top whiskies. But, again, I have no doubt people finding the bottling I tasted will be blown away with this whisky’s uncompromising and unique beauty. It certainly puts the rye into Canadian rye,” Murray says, on the site.
Described as a deliciously balanced whisky with hints of fruit, cloves and spice, Northern Harvest sells for $32 a bottle.
