Tastes

The nose is sweet with dark fruits, banana bread, and caramel. The palate is rye spice, corn sweet. Some nice oak, there's more bourbon sweet than spice, dark fruits, caramel candy, and red licorice. The finish is spicy, sweet, warm, and moderately long. Overall quite smooth. Water ups the finish heat.

The nose is mild, with honey, dark fruits, and Sherry. More of the same on the palete, mild woodiness, a slight cream flavour, caramel and candy. The finish is moderately long and slightly peppery, but quite smooth. This might not be the most complex whiskey, but at this price point it's amazing. Great for sipping.

Spicebox Gingerbread Spiced Whisky
Flavored Whiskey — Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Reviewed March 30, 2022It smells like pumpkin pie and carrot cake run through a blender. The flavor is similar, loads of cinnamon ginger, cloves, allspice, pumpkin, and quite warming. It's thick and creamy, and has a Christmas cake with rum flavor. Finish is quite hot, with a drying spice flavor, like perhaps you've had cinnamon powder off the spoon. -
The nose is sweet, with pears and vanilla and mild caramel. The palate is again very sweet, very rich, caramel, some roastiness, leather, ripe dark fruits, and a bit of vanilla. The finish is fairly short, not unpleasant. I used to love this whiskey, it's sherried and sweet. I find however that it lacks complexity.
