Canadian whisky can be a bit of a minefield, as I have yet to come across a bottle I really like. This 8-year-old Schenley O.F.C. came to me as a leftover from an estate sale, so let's give it a try. Corn sweetness, vanillin and cinnamon are prominent on the nose, interrupted by chamomile, mango and an occasional bite. Feisty and untamed in the arrival, the development is marked by peppery spices, brown sugar and herbal notes. Crème brûlée, grapefruit and mild tannins creep into the surprisingly long finish. Granted, this is definitely better than Canadian Club. RATING: 3.2/5.0 stars ≙ 81 pts → AVERAGE [+]
