Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
The nose is very faint- almost imperceptible. The smell is a mix of cinnamon and fresh-baked cookies with a hint of a fruit cobbler.
Palate:
The flavor smooth and velvety. Light spice peeks through an otherwise straightforward flavor replete with oak and slightly floral undertones. The finish is long in contrast to a relatively light mouthfeel. Final Thoughts and Score: This is a high quality whisky that’s good for people who already appreciate the craftsmanship seen in more recent Canadian whiskies. That said, because of it’s mild yet complex flavor, it also makes a good (albeit expensive) introduction to Canadian whisky in general. Because it’s a single barrel whisky, each bottle offers a unique drinking experience, and once your whisky is gone you may never get something that tastes the exact same ever again. It’s this exclusivity that’s makes Caribou Crossing so intriguing for Canadian whisky fans. Editor’s Note: A sample of this whiskey was provided to us by those behind it.
