Nothing too exciting on the nose mostly spice, it gets better on the palate. Sweetness hits you first, then some creamy vanilla or butterscotch type notes with a little fruit. Spice comes in at the end and stays for the shortish finish. Nice and dangerously smooth.

To start with I like Forty Creek Barrel Select it is an easy-drinking and smooth Canadian whiskey. It is affordable at around $20 a bottle and it mixes well with coke and such. The in the glass I like the darker color. On the nose however it has too much ethanol for my liking. The body is a very typical Canadian whiskey in that it is fairly thin but I do taste some wood notes and a little vanilla sweetness. The finish is somewhat dry but not bad. This mixes well with most things but it is thin. Overall I believe this is a good value but it is not good for me as Rich and Rare Reserve and it is more expensive in my area. While not bad it is not a game-changer. Enjoy.
Nose is vanilla extract, light sugar and cinnamon, and thick sweetness. Palate is more vanilla, oak, a bit of salted caramel, and finishes with cinnamon which lasts for a just a few seconds. Overall it's better for the Canadian whisky I've tried... But still not my thing. The more a sip on it the more it becomes vanilla extract sweet that turns directly into cinnamon sugar and oak.
