Emmy Award-winning actor and Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee Kiefer Sutherland might be making the trip to Nova Scotia in the not-so-distant future.

Sutherland, whom many are familiar with for his role as Jack Bauer in the series 24, has recently released a new alcohol brand, titled Red Bank Whisky, which has strong connections to Nova Scotia. In the promotion of the product, speculation began to circulate regarding whether he’d be paying a visit to the Maritimes.

The premium spirit, which was co-founded by Sutherland alongside Gary Briggs and Nova Scotian entrepreneurs Shawn Hiscott and Rob Steele, was launched over the Victoria Day weekend.

“Born on Nova Scotia’s rocky shores and hand-crafted with pure Canadian ingredients, Red Bank Whisky is an authentic expression of its coastal terroir,” a blurb from the whiskey’s official website read.

According to a release from Red Bank Whisky, the drink is currently available at select locations in Nova Scotia, with plans for it to appear on shelves in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador this week.
