Canadian whisky, 97% corn/3% malt, aged 25 years, 41% ABV Color: Pale copper
Butterscotch, faint spice, maple donut, confectioners sugar. Like other Canadian whiskies, this one mostly smells overwhelmingly sweet to me.
More butterscotch, syrup, and brown sugar, with a heavy dose of oak. Theres a flash of cherry cough syrup on the back of the palate, and the finish sits somewhere between bitter and medicinal. Texturally, its both light and faintly drying. are cloyingly sweet, and the finish is all bitter oaksomething I imagine the 25 years in the barrel is responsible for. Since this is basically extra-old Crown Royal, do yourself a favor and just buy a bottle of Crown Royal.

With the strong caveat that I don’t taste much Canadian whisky and don’t tend to care for the category in general, I just don’t like this whisky very much. The nose and front palate are cloyingly sweet, and the finish is all bitter oaksomething I imagine the 25 years in the barrel is responsible for. Since this is basically extra-old Crown Royal, do yourself a favor and just buy a bottle of Crown Royal.
