Tastes

An exceptionally smooth bourbon with a lovely flavour from the wheat.

It’s regular Forty Creek with some infused floral notes. If it were just a couple dollars more than the Barrel Select it would be a decent value - but at $35 it can’t compete in quality with similarly priced whiskies. It works fine as the recommended whisky and tonic, but if I’m in the mood for that I’ll just buy gin.

Blair is spot on. Far more character than many Canadian whiskies at this price point. (On sale for $33 plus tax. I normally see it around 38-40.) The red wine flavour is nicely balanced by the spicy finish. Highly recommended!
