Three Fingers High 12 Year Sherry Finished

This one is up there with some of the best things to come out of Canada since Carly Rae Jepsen and Avril Lavigne. This reminds me of the day I had in Vancouver with Michael Clarke Duncan. We toured the city and every one stopped us because they wanted picture a with the guy from The Green Mile. Everywhere we went, we got free food and drinks, it was fantastic. The nose on this one reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream. It smells sweet like a Milk Dud and you get a little grassiness if you keep sniffing. The palate is quite nice, the age mellowed the pepper spice to a lovely baking spice. You get vanilla and the finish is not long and doesn't linger. I would say this is a nice easy drinking sweet Canadian, its not offensive and meant to be enjoyed once a year around the holidays much like the the amazing voice of an angel God gifted Michael Bublé with to serenade us with the Christmas classics.

Three Fingers High 40% abv, distilled in Canada but bottled in California. Aged for 12 years in oak and finished in sherry, 100% pot still rye. Aroma: minor alcohol, light sweetness, odd cheap Canadian whisky aroma, not much there Taste: oak/use barrel up front, some more of that cheap odd canadian whisky taste, no sherry to my taste, not really sweet, super smooth/drinkable. Did not get any spice. God knows what they aged for 12 years and apparently finished in sherry and then put in a nice bottle at this price point to taste like this, I may have got a bad bottle or something and want to give it another chance but not sure if I want to risk it for the price. Overall this was a very disappointing whisky. Cost: 37.00+tax for a 750 ml (overpriced) Grade: C-

A balanced 'Blended 100% Rye Canadian Whisky by an Undisclosed Distillery in Canada made from a blend of 12-year-old 100% Canadian Rye Spirits from both pot still & continuous columns still, married in a variety of Sherry casks for finishing. It has an aromatic birth with notes of rye, baking spices & caramel apples; while a creamy life adds notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper over creamed vanilla beans; that leads to a long & balanced death with a hint of chocolate, toasted nuts & oak.

Bold and peppery with a nice finish. When I want a strong rye (not overly alcoholic) this is my choice. It may lack a settle refinement over the entire flavor profile but it is a good rye without any astringent or funk. I do like to soften this with some rocks or a small splash of water depending on my mood. If you want a strong Canadian whisky or rye, give this a try.

Nose - sharp and shiny, ethanol, a bit metallic, vanilla and some mild spice, after some air strong maple comes through Palette - sweet vanilla, strong nutmeg, still some metallic notes Finish - sweet and short, somewhat harsh, unpleasant burn

Punch of alcohol burn upfront, met with strong acetone flagours that elicits thoughts of nail polish remover, followed wifh some peppery spice. For being aged 12 years and matured in sweet sherry casks, it is definitely lacking the sweet.
