Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve

I tasted this Canadian whisky neat at 40%abv in the evening. It is chill-filtered with artificial colour. Vanilla, caramel brulée, dark cherry, and honey scents from the barrel aging. The taste matches it with a little bit of walnut that appears in the near absence of ETOH burn. It's a very easy sipper in exchange for having very little in the way of complexity. Short finish with a faint caramel and spice.

Love me Forty Creek

Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve 40% ABV. Bottled in Canada. No age listed, minimum is 3 years. Forty Creek brand owned by Campari group. Aged in white oak and finished in ex-bourbon barrels. Aroma: maple/vanilla sweetness, minor oak/char Taste: light to medium maple/vanilla/caramel sweetness, minor to some barrel in back end. Minor astringency, some odd/indiscernible notes. Cost: 47.99 + tax for a 750ml bottle, it is not bad but definitely not worth the price. Grade: C+

Agree with the vanilla aroma and flavour, however this one just does not do it for me. Odd finish for sure. Def a mixer, but may as well go for the regular and less pricey forty creek if you’re going to splash cola or whatever in it.

This is 70% caramel 25% maple. A bit spicy, pepper, sour. Clean, easy sipper.

Good taste, not too strong even when drinking neat.
