Ive mentioned many times my dislike for Canadian whisky but...... This is actually a quality product. Poured neat, nose is familiar to genre with ginger maple, spicy rye, bit of barrel notes but we can add some dusty cardboard and a hint of caramel. This has an honest to goodness nose with some depth. Palate is spiced up pretty good. Peppery rye, Christmas, baking all appear with some sweet caramel maple and dry oak. Gotta say the pot still is a huge plus with nice viscosity and mouthfeel. Finish(wait a Canadian with a finish.. yes) is solid with sweet maple syrup and rye drying to oaky barrel. All the way through the flavor and experience has richness unlike most flat weak competitors. Lets not get too crazy its not as good as high quality bourbon or scotch but for what it is im very impressed........76/100....... Best true Canadian whisky Ive had and only one I would (so far) recommend......This kinda reminds me of those maple candies you can get at a trading post

@Slainte-Mhath No worries it crushes CC.....Just dont compare to any decent scotch and youll be good
@Ctrexman I've bought a bottle of Lot 40 and sincerely hope it performs better than Canadian Club... can hardly be any worse.
See...not ALL Canadian whiskies are bad. Just most. If you liked this one try the Wisers 18 or Forty Creek Confederation Oak next.
@Ctrexman Nice review! I was actually planning on grabbing one of these in the next couple weeks--your endorsement gives some hope that I may be spending wisely on a Canadian export!
Nice review. This and the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye are the only two Canadians I've really cared for so far.
