Dr. Don Livermore, Master Blender at Hiram Walker, created this whisky by dry-hopping the whisky post-maturation with natural bravo hops. The whisky was aged in three types of barrels: ex-Canadian whisky, ex-bourbon, and new virgin oak. It’s bottled at 80 proof in a specially tinted bottle to avoid ultraviolet light interaction that could skunk the whisky. For the moment, available only in Canada.

I can't believe I am reviewing a flavoured whisky. That said, this is a tasty expression. The hop adds some citrus and a significant amount of chocolate to this one. Brown sugar, molasses and cream chocolate sugar candy. This is too sweet for a regular pour, but it is a dessert in a bottle if that is what you are looking for.
Sweet maltiness & flavours but the stale Ale nose ruins for me. I was hoping for fresh hoppiness, not old flat beer. Disappointing
I'm not sure how volatile hop oils can survive in a whisky. While there's a slight citrus flavour up front, it finishes sweet.
Rich mouthfeel, powerful dark chocolate, coffee bean, and caramel on both nose and palate. Wonderful sipping whisky.
3 1/2 stars. Rich. Caramel forward. Quite sweet. Ice cream in a glass. But delicious.
