NAS 40% vol. Colored, chill-filtered White Oak barrels Nose: Simple, gentle, sweet with hints of vanilla. Possible notes of maple? Palate: Diluted, sweetness, mild spiciness. Overly smooth and soft for my preference. Lacks character. Finish: Subtle, almost non-existent, light and sweet. It's as polite as all of the Canadians. It's both colored and chill-filtered. A fine introductory whiskey for beginners. Nothing negative, but I wouldn't become overly enthusiastic about it.
