Ellington Reserve 8 Year

Sweet with hints of nutmeg. kind of feels like there is a decent set up but no follow through. Strange little aftertaste.

Smooth but weak. this is „not“ a cheaper Crown Royal :) Will drink again If stranded on an island with nothing else to drink

Corn. Strong fusel. A little green apple. Toasty. Quite sweet.

Easy drinking.

Smokey, notes of oak, lingering taste

Nose - nutmeg, egg nog, brown sugar, black pepper, rubber, cocoa, dusty corn, artificial caramel, vanilla, old wood, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - bland corn sweetness, nutmeg, cherry, black pepper, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, dry honey, light oak notes, nondescript citrus, mild alcohol bite, finishing fast and cloying with chemical caramel, vanilla, and a bit of barrel spice. Oh, Canada. We meet again. Actually this is one of the better Canadians I’ve tasted, certainly superior to Canadian Mist, but not quite at the level of Crown Royal Deluxe. However, there’s not much to love here. It’s got that same nasty, bland, cloying sweetness that seems to accompany most of the whiskies from Canada I’ve tried. This is poor, but not undrinkable.
