---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Forty Creek Three Grain | Blend/ Canada | 5 | 1 | 78 | A little fiery, a little musty; quite nice but less mature and less balanced than the "Barrel Select" | |||||
Gibson's Finest | 12 | Blend/ Canada | 3 | 0 | 0 | 83 | Very nice nose with a nice rye note; the palate is fairly mild and balanced at first then more fiery | |||
Gibson's Finest | 18 | Blend/ Canada | 2 | 0 | 0 | 85 | Mild, balanced palate with some oak and a soft rye character; at first sweet with a very nice fruitiness, then getting drier | |||
Gooderham & Worts 45% | Blend/ Canada | 6 | 0 | 0 | 82 | Spicy and a little fiery, fairly sweet with notes of oranges and toffee, also a bit bitter because of the rye; all in all complex with a lot of flavour (best without water) | ||||
Lord Calvert | 3 | Blend/ Canada | 3 | 0 | 0 | 76 | Light, sweet, refreshing with citrus and vanilla, develops a little heat and notes of oak and rye; fairly young but balanced for its age | |||
Lot 40 | Blend/ Canada | 5 | 0 | 0 | 85 | Fairly rich yet smooth with a mild rye character | ||||
McGuinness Old Canada | Blend/ Canada | 2 | 2 | 0 | 70 | Mild at first, then quite spicy but with off-notes and a disappointing finish | ||||
Moose Crown | Blend/ Canada | 3 | 0 | 0 | 77 | Young, rough nose but a much nicer palate: fresh, clean and balanced with notes of brown sugar and toffee; shows hardly any rye character, in fact it tastes more like a rum than a Canadian whisky! | ||||
Royal Canadian | 5 | Blend/ Canada | 4 | 0 | 0 | 75 | Fairly light with a spicy rye character; nice but a bit too musty | |||
Seagram's VO | Blend/ Canada | 2 | 0 | 0 | 81 | Nice nose with light fruity notes; light, sweet, mild and smooth palate, develops rye; an easy drinking, uncomplicated session whisky |
