Pike Creek Canadian Whisky Finished in Port Wine Barrels

Fruity and creamy with a bit of spice. Delicious.

Very interesting and unique. Sweet port aroma of dried fruits. Lighter mouthfeel than expected but the flavors are nuanced and enjoyable. Sweet dried fruit, cherries and a very smooth moderately long finish. Not bad at all for mid $30s

All the looks of an unchilled Manhattan in the glass; deep dark caramel with shades of red when caught in the light. A nice old wood nose. Roasted pecans came to mind on the palate, as well as dark cocoa, descending into dried cherries on the finish. Slightly unctuous mouthfeel, with a satisfying spiciness that lingers, but doesn't overstay its welcome. For a $30 whiskey (in the U.S.) this is definitely worth collecting to diversidy a home bar, even if it is a little sweeter than what I, personally, seek out. Canadian Whiskey's image is still in stages of recovery, and hopefully whiskeys like this can improve upon the damage more well-known Canadian blends have inflicted upon the our perceptions of everything coming from our neighbors to the north.

Sweet richness of the Port barrels on the nose with the bold whiskey back suppoting it. Sweet wine and berry/fruity notes compliment the silky creaminess of this Canadian Whisky. Has a subtle warmth hitting the back of the tongue and top of the throat. Finishes dangerously smooth and rich as the dark grape notes of the port linger. Has a bourbon-esque playful, yet subtle, bite. Well worth experiencing.

Very smooth and easy drinking. Better than crown.
