Based out of Montérégie (just north of the New York/Quebec border), la Maison Sivo is a part of the growing micro-distillery movement sweeping through Canada, which saw at least seven new distilleries in 2015. The house produces a number of spirits, with the crown jewel being its L'Essence du Single Malt Whisky, made from Quebec-grown malted barley and aged around a year in 225-liter Cornish oak barrels. Bottled without filtration at 42% ABV. As it isn't aged for at least 3 years, the Canadian requirement for whisky, it can't technically be called "whisky" there.

Pear, fruity body. Bit thin and a bit of spice on the back end/ finish. Hint of cinnamon. Candy/ licit ice nose. Flat/short aftertaste. Taste in Stoneham... Wendi bought for New Years 2019.
Excellent whisky si vous aimez Les notes fruitées et le vieillissement en futs de sauterne. Une veillée de Noel en bouteille.
Belle couleur ambrée et un goût complexe. Un bijou de scotch!
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
