Campari, expresso, pepper, vanilla. At room temperature and bottle strength I scored it 54 but the addition of ice tempers the excessively resinous taste of over-aging. This bottle come as a "new make in a bottle" with a piece of oak which added to "age" the whisky. Two years aging by this process is obviously excessive.

What better way to celebrate our national holiday than to sample the bsat Canadian Whisky that I have yet to experienced. Formally titled as "Forty Creek John K . Hall Port Wood Reserve", it is exquisite. Raisins, cinnamon, cane syrup with a long pepper/tobacco finish.
