Canadian Rockies 21yo – 46% ABV, 6 x 750ml

Nose: Doughy, soft, deep and balanced; corn syrup, corn meal, corn bread and caramel corn; loads of caramel, floral and thick vanilla.

Taste: Round and fruity, deeper and darker than the original bottling, more caramel, and richer fruits: raisin, candy-apple, juicy orange and some tart pineapple; smooth and elegant the whisky is soft and layered; there is a floral side to it too, but it is held back by the oak; still dominated by the sweet corn notes.

Finish: long, sweet and fruity; fading caramel, oak spices and floral tones; the floral elements flourish on the finish.

Comment: this is softer, fruitier and even more drinkable than the original release; elegant and layered!

Canadian Rockies 17yo – 50% abv,  6 x 750ml

From the alcohol and wood aroma filled warehouse, carefully select the aged Canadian whisky. These hand-picked barrels bear a common theme – a whisky that represents Canada’s spirit and taste. Wile the purity of glacier water helps the distillation process, the ancient water also adds character to our whisky.

Nose: toasty, floral and honeyed; Marcona almonds, dried cherry and cranberry, baked apple and cinnamon; lemon and candied corn.

Palate: sweet, corn forward and spicy; floral, ripe fruits, more baked apple, dried cherry and cranberry; toasted oak, more Marcona almonds, olive oils; jujubes and vanilla bean.

Finish:  long, toasty and sweet; floral with fading fruits and jujubes.

Comment: classic Canadian whisky, corn forward, very drinkable, juicy and layered; not overly complex, but at this proof it is a fine cocktail whisky!
