Fahrenheit 173 - Whisky Ratings
| Whisky | Age/ Vintage | Origin | Richness | Peat/ smoke | Sherry influence | Rating | Price | QPR | Comments | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michel Couvreur 'unfiltered' | 12 | 7 | 0 | 7 | 84 | Fruity, fairly sweet, quite sherried yet in a balanced way (must've been a good sherry!); also malty and a bit spicy with a note of peppermint | | ||||
| Saturnus Premium Blend | 5 | 1 | 0 | 35 | Very sweet with notes of grapes and candy; strange, immature palate with off-notes but the finish is quite close to whisky | | |||||
| Black Velvet Reserve |  | 8 | Blend/ Canada | 3 | 0 | 0 | 81 | Mild, balanced palate, fairly nice but fairly unremarkable; nicer finish with a note of orange | |||
| Canadian Club | | 6 | Blend/ Canada | 3 | 1 | 0 | 81 | € 17 | 52 | Quite mild/light yet not without character; a bit spicy with a hint of smoke in the finish; all in all very enjoyable (the perfect party whisky!) | |
| Canadian Club 100 Proof | 6 | Blend/ Canada | 4 | 1? | 80 | ||||||
| Canadian Club Reserve | | 10 | Blend/ Canada | 3 | 0 | 0 | 79 | Smoother, richer and sweeter than the 6 y.o. but lacking in the character department | |||
| Canadian Club Classic | | 12 | Blend/ Canada | 5 | 0 | 0 | 80 | Dry, slightly harsh and bitter with a very nice finish; compared to the 6 y.o.: richer, less balanced, less drinkable | |||
| Crown Royal Limited Edition | Blend/ Canada | 5 | 0 | 82 | Richer than the standard edition, but not quite as nice and balanced | ||||||
| Crown Royal | | 10 | Blend/ Canada | 4 | 0 | 0 | 84 | € 26 | 51 | Nice nose with vanilla, citrus, caramelized sugar and bitter hint of wormwood; light and smooth palate with very nice fruity notes, develops oak, spices and a slight bitterness from the rye | |
| Forty Creek Barrel Select | | Blend/ Canada | 6 | 0 | 83 | Spicy, fairly rich and a little musty; balanced and very nice; the short finish leaves me wanting more... |
