Nose: Maple, caramel, butterscotch Palate: Nice oily mouthfeel. More maple and caramel. Smooth initially. Spiciness coming through later and lingering. Some black pepper notes here. Initial smoothness gives way to some burn. Finish: Medium length, dry, spicy, with hints of brandy. Overall pretty good. However not the smoothest and not overly complex. Forty Creek has had better offerings.
Engaging caramel, with a suggestion of rye spice, the nose has a little too much raw alcohol notes, but it settles down with time. The taste is syrup sweet up front that settles into some spice and finishes with a bit of oak. This drink is a dessert in itself. With a little more age, it would shine brighter, but a really good example of the typical Canadian whisky style.
I really like Canadian whiskey and this one did not disappoint. When tasted neat, I enjoyed the full buttery/toffee flavor and oiliness which was very calming. Finished smooth and sweet with a hint of spice. This one is going on my x-mas list.
Take off you hozer! This Canadian whiskey is nice. I am glad to get away from bourbon. This is just a clean smooth nicely rounded whiskey. Enjoyed my first glass and ready for round two.
I really like this release. Not getting the higher rating due to being a little forgettable. Mellow overall with some maple and sweet notes that come out on ice. Easy to drink!
I really enjoyed this one. Definitely one I would put on my go to list. Sweet, smooth and easy to drink. “Keep em coming”
