Collingwood Town Collection Double Barrel

Serving: 1.5 fl. oz. shot, neat. Nose: Forward caramel and/or salted caramel notes. Some vanilla. Low cereal note. Floral. Wintergreen notes (means something if you’re an Ontarian). Low citrus. Palate: What you smell is what you taste, for the most part. Low oak/wood/maple notes develop as you continue sipping. Medium sweet. Finish: Low bitterness. Caramel and vanilla notes fleeting. Earthy, almost seaside/wharf-like notes developing later on (pleasant). Some maple, but low in intensity. Overall: Excellent value for money offering with medium taste and body, acceptable harshness and some interesting and surprising complexities.

Only maple on the nose. Warm oak that leaves very light spice on tongue.

Very light finish on the tongue, not strong at all, floral, tastes of cinnamon, brown sugar, banana bread. Highly recommended for anyone who is venturing out into whiskey/bourbon world.

I purchased this at the LCBO store while visiting Canada. I want to say after converting back to US dollars, it was like 30 dollars. The product delivered for 30 dollars exceeds expectations. Don't go in with unrealistic expectations but when I opened this bottle I didn't touch the rest of my collection till it was gone. I was craving canadian whiskey apparently... It's not a showpiece bottle, no one will recognize it but everyone who samples it will like it. The bottle is a good bang for the buck. When I go back to canada, I'll buy another bottle.

Nice whisky for the price. Definite oakiness and a warm burn.
