Welcome to day 4 from the mean streets of Vancouver we bring you Odd Society’s Commodore batch #254 bottled exclusively for the strath and your gullet. When ever possible we try to high light “local” distilleries to help ensure that the we continue to have access to good products and Vancouver is close enough for most of us that I could simply be a day trip to help promote local businesses so if you enjoy today’s whisky we encourage you to do so.

Story
Located on Powell Street in East Vancouver’s port district, Odd Society is dedicated to combining Old World distilling traditions with New World ingredients and ingenuity to create a family of spirits including whiskey, vodka and gin.
Founder and Distiller Gordon Glanz holds an MSc in brewing and distilling from Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland where he experimented with distilling whiskey using raw grains and commercial enzymes. After finishing his MSc, Gordon spent a week at the Whisky School at Springbank distillery in Campbeltown.
Now back in his home town, Gordon is applying his penchant for experimentation and knowledge of tradition within the Odd Society, which he operates alongside his wife, Miriam Karp.
