Tastes

All around, a good bourbon, not particularly complex but, a decent go-to or introductory choice.

Lovely sweet smoke! Very well balanced peat, fruit, wood and brine. At 46%, it’s rich and smooth, missing just a little body and depth for me.

Delicious, better than dessert! Certainly sweet and mellow but well structured. We shared a bottle among several people with different interests and everyone loved it. Perhaps, that’s the only fault, to be a bit of a crowd-pleaser?

I am not so sure about this one… I think that it was a decent “Bourbon”? Definitely not what I would expect from a Scotch. It did lack refinement and depth. I tried it neat and on the rocks but, I couldn’t even make it halfway the bottle. Perhaps, it’s just a matter of style and taste so, give it a try, you might love it!

What is this exactly? As an experiment, anything goes but, at around $50 CAD, this is nonsense. Buy yourself a decent tequila or whisky, or the cheapest of the two that you can find and mix them up yourself.

It’s apple flavored Crown Royal… Enough said!

Definitely better than the traditional offering, a bit smoother and more complex, although more “sippable”, I don’t think that it’s worth almost double the price.

Arguably, the most popular Canadian whisky, it’s definitely basic, works well with coke or ginger ale, since it’s affordable it’s usually a safe bet.

Entry level Canadian whisky, for under $30 CAD, it’s alright for mixing.

This was actually drinkable, not terrible neat but not particularly impressive either. The quality-price ratio is not so bad, specially if you can drink it neat or on ice. For mixing, it would be a waste of money. It wasn’t interesting enough for me to sip it so, I’d pass next time.
