Nose - nutmeg, egg nog, brown sugar, black pepper, rubber, cocoa, dusty corn, artificial caramel, vanilla, old wood, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - bland corn sweetness, nutmeg, cherry, black pepper, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, dry honey, light oak notes, nondescript citrus, mild alcohol bite, finishing fast and cloying with chemical caramel, vanilla, and a bit of barrel spice. Oh, Canada. We meet again. Actually this is one of the better Canadians I’ve tasted, certainly superior to Canadian Mist, but not quite at the level of Crown Royal Deluxe. However, there’s not much to love here. It’s got that same nasty, bland, cloying sweetness that seems to accompany most of the whiskies from Canada I’ve tried. This is poor, but not undrinkable.
