Quirky and tasty.

I’ve really enjoyed the limited edition whiskies from Canada in the last couple of years and this one was no exception. It’s creamy nose leans more towards bourbon than rye, but the taste is firmly in keeping with the mash bill: black pepper mixed with orange syrup and a hint of dairy. The spices linger, dancing on the tongue. A very good example of what Livermore is capable of producing and excellent value if you can find it.

Absolutely exquisite. You cannot go wrong grabbing a bottle of this if you're able to still find it. No young heat, just silky sipping. The only thing I can compare it to is Wiser's 35 Year which is crazy.
