8 Seconds Blended Canadian Whisky is matured in oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV by Frank-Lin Distillers in Fairfield, California. The whisky is distilled in Canada and aged for at least three years. It sells for around $75 for a 1.75L bottle.
The whisky translates well from nose to mouth with flavours of vanilla and caramel leading out and a peppery wood and grain spice not very far behind. There is a little honeycomb present and some nice impressions of tobacco, dark fruit and chocolate. The whisky carries a light astringency which reminds me of those rough and tumble cowboys who ride for 8 seconds on those bucking bulls.
