Legacy Blended Canadian Whisky

Color: A tawny leather brown marks this Canadian blend. Also, the legs are the thinnest I have ever seen, but they do stick to the edge of the glass for a while. Nose: The nose marks a vibrant aroma that demands recognition. It’s surprising, for only being 40% ABV, it stings your nasal cavity if you don’t inhale with your mouth slightly open. Cotton candy notes lead the way with the smell of a craft store following behind. There’s a metallic note that I can’t decide whether I like or not, it reminds me of the smell of my summer job working in a glass and metal framing warehouse. Taste: The palate has it’s sweet corn and buttery notes, but it’s rounded out by some spice as well. There are notes of almond and cashews, and a dry red wine vibe I get too. Finish: The finish is medium to long in length and leaves a dry, tingling mouthfeel with a cherry note. Thoughts: Though it may not be life altering, its a decent Canadian whisky I can get behind. I think their website can use some attention though; the graphics and vibe felt cool, but the site didn’t have any relevant information. (Sorta random, but I thought it was worth mentioning.) Anyways, Buffalo Trace, thanks and keep it up! Sláinte!

Found this one on sale for $8.99 for a 750ml bottle. Yes you read that right, $8.99 for a full bottle. On to the review... Smell is almost not there nothing sticks out too much on the nose a little sweetness but not overpowering. As I sip it I get a surprisingly, but not so surprisingly smooth touch on the front of my tongue followed by some floral flavoring. Not my favorite, but not bad. Initially goes down smooth but I get a very large dose of alcohol backlash which is unpleasant. Overall for the $8.99 I would certainly purchase again. Even for the $20 regular price I would purchase this if Canadien whiskeys are your thing. Tasting this next to NH Crown it’s in a different league though...minor league that is.

A surprise to be sure...I bought this bourbon as "pick in a poke...what the hell" I'll give it a try deal...(we've all done it)....you SEE something new...the clerk say's "it's NEW here and on sale" So....ya give it a try. I, not being one to buy anything from Canada...OK....a few things....decided to give this a try. The taste was smooth as most blends are. NO big one flavor stands out..but it certainly was enjoyable. I will share this spirit with all who stop by . The price was more then fair.. The taste was a 3.8 and a .2 for a good price...I might buy again.

Nose: very subtle vanilla, not much else. Palate: watery caramel, with some nice spice on the finish. Some citrus notes detected as well. Not terribly complex, but not unpleasant either. A bit of a chalky aftertaste. Adding water brings forth some spice to the nose, but really muted the flavors on the palate. Overall: Not a bad value, but probably not something I’d buy again.

Very smooth and easy to drink. A sweet nose with vanilla predominantly. Easy on the pallet with a good mouthfeel even though it is thin. Creamy and mild spice. A short finish but the creamy feel lingers which I like. Another great whisky from the buffalo trace family.

Pretty average. Impressive bottle at least -- it looks elegant. However, it's pretty light on flavor. It has the standard smoothness of most Canadian whiskeys with the sweet notes, but not much else. It's drinkable, but I would not buy another.
