Tasting Notes
"This waxy blend turns the rich tones and textures of Forty Creek whisky up to eleven. The front of the nose is fruity with a dusty ginger-laced rye spice but on the palate, creamy vanilla plays a starring role. Complex nutty flavors are layered with bittersweet dark chocolate. Ginger bread and rye spices quickly shift to a stretched and tart finish introducing some of the wood’s exotic sandalwood flavors. "
