As has become standard with Forty Creek bottlings, the grains used in the whisky (rye, barley, and corn) are distilled individually in a copper pot still rather than making a mash-bill with the three grains.

Tasting Notes

"The aroma is not too intense, but shows notes of pecans, maple, and vanilla. The body of the whisky is smooth and easy to drink with similar aromas as the nose and red apple skins and ginger candy. The whisky isn't very complex, but is easy to drink and only slightly bitter on the finish."
