I tasted this 7 year old Canadian whisky neat at 42.5%abv. in the evening. It is chill-filtered but of natural colour.
The wine cask influence is strong. Soft floral nose behind bold oak and fruit up front. Beautiful plum and other sweet red fruit flourish on the palate that ends in a dry spicy oak. Some serious depth in flavour. It suffers from an unfortunately short finish, which echoes of oak, fruit, and the lingering bordeaux in the back. There is an alcohol burn that's more intense than it should be at only 42.5%. The red fruit character is close to Buffalo Trace or Forty Creek Copper Pot, perhaps, which I consider exceptional.
Sérieux, je suis surpris du résultat! Un gros wow dans l’équilibre! Pour moi, c’est un des meilleurs whisky canadiens.
Caramel brûle, chêne, vanille, fruits rouge, cassonade, érable, mais.
Une belle longueur sur l’épice, mais pas trop!
It's ok, if you like crown, you'll like this. It's better than crown in my opinion, but it's lacking on quite a few fronts. It would be good for a mixer, very sweet, typical maple flavor, slight hint of... apple? Like a little fruitiness, over all, It's ok

This is the first Canadian whiskey I’ve sipped since re-exploring whiskeys. First impression was that it’s a bit bland which I kind of expected from a Canadian. But I have enjoyed this glass more and more as I’ve gone on. As a mainly bourbon drinker I appreciate the wine finished notes and am glad I have it in the cabinet. It was BOGO at Publix liquors and I couldn’t pass up that deal to dip my toes in Canadian brown waters.
