Nose: very “bourbon like”, which I like. Palate: soft and slightly oily with light fruit and grains. Finish: ends too soon unfortunately and left me waiting for the punch that never comes. This is not a bad thing, I was just hoping for more “wow”. All around an excellent easy drinking Canadian whisky. If your looking for something with a bit more punch Lot 40 Cask Strength is a great choice when you can find it.
