What a tasty treat for not that much treasure! I continue to be surprised by Canadian whisky and all the lovely flavors (that easily stand up against my favorite scotches in a different but equal way) and the incredibly accessible price point most of them are at. I like rum. I like it in cocktails. I like it neat. I’m particularly fond of the Eldorado 15 year, which is like drinking liquid Nutella (also makes a damn fine hot buttered rum!). Immediately on the nose of this whisky you’re greeted by vanilla, demura sugar, but none of that rummy funk. On the taste, those rum notes are definitely there but it doesn’t overpower the whisky, which shows up more in the finish with that trademark Canadian smoothness. A return sip still leads with the rum finish on the nose and palate, but you get a little more of the whisky flavors the second go around. The finish is long and slow, and takes you through a symphony of rummy goodness and whisky warming. A very fine pairing, and I’m tacking on a few extra points for the completely unreasonable and low price of $28 USD. You’d pay over three times that for a rum finished scotch or Irish with less of the savory results. Grab this when you can!
