This year for the holidays I’m going to try a brand new whiskey every day in December. #lifegoals
Dec. 1:
The LAST of the dubious 2017 & 2018 stocking stuffer 50 mL “whiskeys”! Just in time for 2019.
Nose is frankly delicious. It’s pecan pie, with extra emphasis on the pee-can. Not much else to say here. I’m getting a hint of that crappy cough syrup flavor that plagues stuff like this, but I honestly can’t tell if I’m merely projecting expectations.
Body comes in with that thick syrupy sweet mouth feel. There’s the cough syrup. There’s the pee-can. I don’t hate it as badly as I feel like a should. That cough syrup-ness that ruins so many liqueurs kinda works with the pee-can. Your mouth is expecting that syrupy, thick fee, and this little guy delivers. Giggety.
Finish is spicy with cinnamon and nutmeg. The burn lingers a bit longer than you’d expect for a Canadian whisky, but it’s a pleasant feeling that goes well with the flavor.
I don’t know what to say.
“This is good.”
“I like it.”
“I feel like I respect myself a little less than when I woke up this morning.”
‘Tis the season. I don’t know if I actually have 30 more new whiskeys lined up, so if you’re reading this and there’s something readily available out there you’d like me to enjoy/suffer through this holiday season, leave it in the comments.
