Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve

Complex and constantly evolving best describe the nose. Maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, raisin, figs, apricots and black pepper are immediate. Leather notes and green apple become apparent upon later wafts. On the palate the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla are up front and center with the peppery notes filling and lingering in the back of the throat. The finish is long and lasting, odd for an 80 proof whisky. This one causes salivation to occur triggering the need and desire for further sips. Another lovely offering from Forty Creek. This distiller knows their business and makes a lot of very good whiskey. Nose 4.5/5; Taste 4/5 Overall 4.25/5 Repurchase: Yes Type: Friday Night Pour

Nice

Great taste

Very lovely notes of honey infused with orange peels on dry-toasted bread. Long and welcoming finish.

Nose: Sweet honey, cereal, vanilla with buttery toast Palette: Dominant notes of pralines, maple syrup, honey nut, light cream, almond skins Finish: Smooth, warm, sweet and then bitter like from the skins of toasted almonds, light oak It’s a fantastic Canadian Whisky and easy for beginners. For those looking for more kick, this may be too smooth. While this one is less sweet than the other offerings from Forty Creek, it may still be too sweet for some palettes. Overall taste is well balanced and nice for easy sipping. Too syrupy for an everyday dram. Great bottle for the piece I picked it up for.

Smooth, vanilla, sweet, oak, a little over powering
