Tasting Notes
"Lafleur’s blend stacks corn whisky notes including vanilla, caramel, honey and soft oak integrated into a fused flavor profile. These flavor contours glide effortlessly into an easy drinking palate of sweet corn cobs, husks and delicate oak. This whisky’s traditional Canadian corn whisky tones display refinement before a spice burst soaked with rum raisins breaks away into a glowing finish of barrel spices. "
