Great stuff for $20.
This is a Canadian whisky I read about in the last issue of Malt Advocate. The unique process is very intriguing. Each of the three grains (corn, rye and malted barley) are mashed, fermented and distilled separately. Each is then aged for “up to ten years” in white oak barrels with different char depths.
The grains are then matured together in a sherry wood barrel for another five to six months.
The resulting whisky is unlike most Canadian Whiskies I have tried. This one has a lot of taste on its own and was not made for mixed drinks.
The taste reveals notes of butterscotch and spices. It is bold with a creamy finish.
If you are a scotch drinker and tend to shy away from bourbon whiskey you may not find this favorable. But if you’re a fan of American Whiskey, Forty Creek Barrel Select is worth a taste.
