Victoria Whisky Festival called Best in World

According to a Scottish brand ambassador at Tales of the Cocktail recently, whisky professionals love visiting Canada.There is a group of paid whisky ambassadors who travel the globe promoting whisky. The one event they all want to see on their schedule is the four-day-long Victoria Whisky Festival held each January. Not only is it Canada’s biggest whisky festival, now we know it’s the brand ambassadors’ favourite too. (As reported by Davin de Kergommeaux of Canadian Whisky)

The Macallan 18yo 1995 100% Sherry Cask Matured £116.00

In my opinion, the best Macallan and the best of the full sherried single malts. Blindingly complex. This has a big rich milk chocolate nose with lychees and soft apricot. On the palate it is a real fruit salad, very fresh and alive with Kiwi fruit and nectarines. The long, long finish is a wonderful experience to behold.

Still undoubtedly an Ace. (LFW comment)

Stature in the rye:

According to Adam McDowell of the National Post, Canadian whisky is once more regaining its reputation for quality.

“. . . the appearance of new, bold-flavoured and high-end Canadian whiskies sparks a Canadian rye revival.”

“America developed a taste for smooth, spicy Canadian rye whisky during the Civil War.”

“People assume that Canadian whisky’s big chance to conquer the world came along during Prohibition. But, as Harcus says, “This is the time for rye, right now.””
