About this bottle
John’s Private Cask No. 1 was Forty Creek’s 2011 special release. This whisky marked the first time John Hall focused on accenting the flavor of the grains rather than the type of oak barrel used to finish the ageing process. It contains a blend of rye, corn and barley whiskies that were copper pot-distilled and aged as single-grain whiskies. When you walk through Forty Creek’s barrel room you will notice barrels marked with chalk. These are the honey barrels that John has set aside for his reserve stock. And in 2011, twenty three of them had grain-flavor profiles ripe for picking. 9000 bottles were made.
