Eau Claire is a fantastic craft distillery. I was very excited when I saw the price on this release thinking, finally an affordable Eau Claire! Working through the bottle, I must say it is a bit metallic on the palate, and the flavours are mostly general Canadian sweet, light, approachable whisky. If you don't get the metallic note, I think this would end up being a great Canadian. As it is, it's very similar to Forty Creek Copper pot.
