Sobey’s (a liquor store in Western Canada) ordered a lot of Eleven Souls when they opened last year and it is not selling here. It appears that this market isn’t ready to spend C$99 for a Canadian whisky but this has to be a case of buyers not knowing what they are missing. For reference, The Glenlivet 12 is about C$60 and The Glenlivet 18 is C$180 (C$100 = US$70) here. Eleven Souls is a Canadian twist on a Speyside and it is far better than the Glenlivets. My preference is peated. Eleven Souls, even at 49%, is easier to drink and more complex than a peated whisky. It is one of the best I have had. Silky smooth, fruit, toasted oak, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon. The finish is the star of the show. The finish slowly builds with warmth and spice and then lasts a very long time. Wood spice opens on the sides, and rolls to the middle of your tongue. Sweet, slightly drying. More spice than a Talisker 10. My only negative comment is the Gooderham and Worts 49 Wellington might be a tiny bit better. That’s not really a negative, more of a comment on how good these bottles are. Fantastic, Canadian whisky is not just Crown Royal, this is a special whisky.
