Centennial Limited Edition Canadian Whisky

So normally I don't do tastings on my inexpensive, mixing whiskies, but I saw some reviews on this one and felt the need to stand up for this whisky because it is one of the best value Canadian whiskies. Nose: Nice and rich. Some very typical Canadian whisky aromas here - lots of vanilla, maple, butterscotch, caramel... Despite this being rye and winter wheat not a lot of rye is coming through on the nose. Palate: Immediately rich and very creamy. I suspect the creaminess is from the winter wheat? More butterscotch and caramel here. Certainly not an overly spicy rye but mid-taste some cinnamon and pepper starts to come through. Somewhat light on flavour but very smooth and little burn despite what other tasters have noted. Finish: Light and relatively short. However some raisins/prunes on the back of the palate linger a little. Overall for the price point ($22.99 CAD) this is excellent! I will always have one of these on hand and although I probably won't drink neat due to the fact that it is a little light on flavour, it is still a great whisky and one I regularly use in cocktails. It's creaminess with some mild spice makes it particularly good in an old fashioned.

The absolute best of the bottom shelf of Canadian whiskies. Give me this over Crown or Alberta Premium any day. This is a cheap and rough around the edges. But it knows exactly what it is and owns it!

Not bad for 30 dollars. Too crass though

All fire, no substance 2 stars because it knows it's price point, which is cheap.
