Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
The color is that of a well worn saddle – a medium brick hue reminiscent of maple syrup.
Nose:
The nose opens with notes of pipe tobacco before revealing the aromas of leather, cardamom spice, and fruit.
Palate:
The flavor is smooth and clear with a tidy balance of herbal flavors. The fruit taste becomes more pronounced as traces of stone fruit sweetness (cherry and plum) and ambrosia reveal themselves. Final Thoughts & Score Score: 85/100 This whiskey has earned a permanent spot on my shelf. Of the Canadian whiskies I’ve had the chance to try, The Pendleton 1910 is simultaneously accessible and smooth while balancing more complex and unique flavors than other available Canadian hiskies. This is an uncomplicated whisky of high quality and a thoroughly enjoyable drinking experience and at about $40 a bottle is a great value for its unique flavor.
