Caldera Distilling is located in River John, Nova Scotia, Canada. On the property is an old barn where they found “October 18, 1939 Storm” etched into one of its beams. Not just any storm but a hurricane had struck eastern Canada on this date. The storm was logged simply as Hurricane #5, the fifth storm of the 1939 Atlantic hurricane season inspiring the name of this whisky several decades later. What happened to the barn poet who recorded the event is unknown. Available in Canada.

I was lucky enough to try this at a tasting. The nose is angry. Almost like moonshine. But as you taste it the yummy warm Carmel notes take over. It's very good and a great surprise on your tongue.
Mickey. Soft and sweet were the most obvious characteristics to mention. Would be a nice table whiskey for sharing. Pretty easy to drink on the rocks.
Grows on you, but overall feels underwhelming. Angry-ish nose, but the finish warms you up a little.
A surprisingly sweet and mild Canadian whiskey, that somehow reminds me of a run or something. Nice.
Fruity, sweet and oaky. One of the best from the east coast of Canada. My go to.
Great whiskey for the price, always keep some on hand in a decanter.
