Tasting Notes (Circa 1980s/1990s Bottling):
Appearance: Golden amber with a light copper hue, showing clarity and maturity consistent with mid-aged Canadian whiskies of the era.
Nose: Light and fragrant with classic Canadian smoothness. Notes of toffee, light vanilla, green apple, and soft oak spice. Hints of baking spice, dried grain, and a touch of honey emerge with time in the glass.
Palate: Clean and approachable. A smooth blend of light caramel, butterscotch, and mild rye spice. Subtle undertones of almond, oak, and a touch of citrus zest give the whisky character without overpowering the palate.
Finish: Crisp, medium in length, with a lingering warmth of oak, white pepper, and faint vanilla bean.
Serving Recommendation:
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, though its smooth profile also makes it excellent for classic whisky cocktails like a Manhattan, Whisky Highball, or Whisky Sour.
