  • Floral rye characters balance flawlessly with just the right amount of oak. A spice tidal wave rolls in the finish. The rye warms the chest setting up the perfect citrus pith undertow dragging you back into this exceptional whisky.

  • Vanilla flavours push through as do some nice sappy oak and heated baking spices. Again however, it is my feeling that the lighter nuances of flavour are hidden from view pushed aside the obvious caramel flavour.

  • Rich in dark rum notes, kola nuts, vanilla pods, and sweet rye, it bursts with ripe black fruits and sizzling hot spices. Sip slowly to uncover black licorice, a touch of tannin, and the classic Canadian hot, bitter pith finish.
