Pike Creek 10 Year Rum Barrel Finish

It's been a couple of years. I picked up a bottle and spent a few months with it. This time I find this whisky very sweet. Cane sugar or artificial vanilla sweet. Maybe it's just this bottle, but for me, it's just too influenced by rum.

Very nice

The sweetness of the rum barrels make this rye rounder with a softer bite like a bourbon.

Whiskey aficionados at a liquor store in Jasper, AB raved about this bottle - I had a taste in the store neat and the nose was oddly young. However, when I got it home and tasted on the rocks - let it open a bit - wow, super smooth with strong caramel and honey flavors. Still not wild about nose - but so easy to drink.
