Made from the finest North American corn and rye, Select Club whisky undergoes intensive aging in American Oak Bourbon barrels and multiple rounds of filtering to create a smoother, balanced and bolder taste. The buttery pecan flavor of the Pecan Praline Whisky makes this a fan favorite with its beautiful aroma and an unforgettable flavor. The Canada-based distillery's Pecan Praline Whisky & Cream Liqueur is one of the first of its kind in the market, perfectly blending together whisky and cream to create a velvety taste best served in coffee, over ice or blended in cocktails. Select Club is currently distributed across the United States and select parts of Canada.
"Select Club's success at this prestigious competition is a testament to our brands, our people and our innovative approach to the industry," said Morales. "Our unwavering commitment to service and excellence is at the forefront of everything we do."
