Gooderham & Worts Three Grain Little Trinity 17 Year

This is a mature, excellent Canadian Whisky. The nose draws you in with toasted sugars or sweet caramel balanced with light fruit and a hint of orange. Taking a sip is at first sweet, light, smooth with honey and cereal, then moves to pepper and spice. The finish is long, warm, and brings out oak, and bitter orange. This Whisky is a delight and can reveal different parts with time or paired with different items to eat. (4.5 stars)

The four grain but tamed, reigned in by age and experience. The finish leans over the edge of bitterness, buts hold on, leaving a desire to return for another taste. A complex blend that continues to intrigue well past the last sip.

This has significantly more depth and richness than standard G&W. It’s smooth and sweet to start with rich caramel, vanilla, oak, rye spice notes and a hint of leather. Like standard G&W it’s held back just a bit by it’s dry, slightly bitter finish. It’s still one of, if not the best Canadian whiskies I’ve had. $80 in Ontario.
