Distiller’s notes:
A young Canadian Whisky that is rich, rounded and smooth. Sweet aromatics with a hint of spice. A medium-body with a good length and buttery finish.
Tasting notes:
Rich aromas of creamy caramel, sweet toffee, hints of vanilla, dried fruits with a delicate veil of oak and spices. On the palate, hints of toasty wood, brown sugar, caramelized corn, cinnamon, spice and rye.
