Tastes

43% abv, single pot still, malted rye, crafted at Hiram Walker distillery. Ahhh...Canada. You always remind me of late fall and early winter. Baking spices, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg(cola/root beer). Peppered vanilla caramel, and ax cut oak stacked for burning. If it is rye you are fond of, then this is a whisky worthy of love! Thank you Canada.

A worked up appetite after walking along the ocean side docks is met at the door with alluring aromas of garlic biscuits and orange marmalade then fresh seafood; lobster, clams, scollops, haddock, with melted butter and sweet and briny tartar sauce for dipping. Leaving with some tiny baked fruit tarts the sea breezes greet us in the open. A feast of a mouthful. Toured the distillery in Fort William and was disappointed when there were no bottles of 10 available in the gift shop. Furthermore, I wasn’t able to locate any in bottle shops before leaving Scotland. But as fate would have it I located a dusty 10 state side. Thank you Hector McDram!

46.3% abv / Un-chillfiltered / Natural Color Peacan, vanilla, caramel praline lightly salted

Oh...my my my! Fills the air with rich sweet smoked meats and boiled seafoods and dark salted fruits and faint vanilla cream and cheeses and brown bread with baked beans and...on and on. Seated near the camp fire...sweet tangy smoky BBQ and bitter leaf and wood and figs and hints of caramel and...mmm. After the meal we sit smoking tobacco in leather britches in a misty smoked filled oak forest long long ago...Wicked

Buttered toast with a sprinkle of brown sugar

Waking up on a lazy morning in a small cottage to the aroma of bicuits baking. Faint breezes caressing hay fields floats in through the windows open to the summer daybreak. Salted butter, mild cheeses, and light honey upon the cupboard neatly arranged and ready.
