This is easily the best Canadian whiskey I have had. Extremely complex and subtle. Requires patience. I give it a minimum of 30 minutes, but really needs more. Expect nothing out of it from drink and pour; it will taste watered down and boring. Needs no added water. After proper rest, vanilla and ginger dominate with an evolving fruit potpourri of flavors on the palate. All of this is backed up by a dusty oaky/rye foundation that never intrudes, but gives the spirit just enough backbone. Exceptional!
