Forty Creek Evolution
Canadian
Forty Creek // Ontario, Canada
RARE
Evolution walked upright onto store shelves in 2014. It was John Hall’s 8th special release. The whisky is a blend of three year-old corn, barley and rye whiskies that were then re-distilled before being aged for an additional 9 years in French oak cabernet sauvignon wine casks.
Some additional whisky casks were blended in for balancing. The name is attributed to John Hall’s evolution as a whisky maker and the evolution of his whiskies. .

Tasting Notes
"Chocolate-covered cordial cherries unfold in the nose to perfumed floral tones. The whisky dries off in the mouth where it shape shifts through a brininess that’s accented by vanilla, black currants, and dry vintage port. The finish pops with black pepper and mouth-puckering tannins. There is more going on in this whisky than specimens on the H.M.S. Beagle."
