About the product: Far North Spirits is pushing back on monoculture, growing unique, open pollinated rye grain varietals on our century-old family farm. These rye varietals are selected and farmed specifically for their flavor when distilled, a common sense approach that is virtually unheard of in the industry. Musketeer was originally bred for use in Western Canada. In the field, it’s taller than most modern varietals and thus more susceptible to lodging, but is still well suited to overwintering in our harsh climate.
