Glen Breten 10 Year is a nice alternative from your standard Canadian drams. This one drinks more like a scotch, hitting many of the same profiles you’d expect. It’s very light, with thin layers of honey, vanilla, oak, and an extremely subtle through line of fruit. On the tongue, it’s initially quite woody, offering sweets toward the front end and a dry, fast finish toward the back. This all culminates into a nice heat in your chest moments after this one is gone, lasting briefly before you return to the rim. The worst part about Glen Breten 10 Year is one’s inability to acquire it. For something falling so neatly within the affordable and delicious category, it would be amazing if it were available outside of Canada.
