Forty Creek Port Wood Reserve, 45% abv
Of course one gets a prominent taste of port in a port wood finish. but beneath that I tasted blackberries and crème de cacao with a mild pepper finish. One of the better Canadians that I have tasted.

Honeyed raisins, fig compote aromas on the nose. Fiery yet smooth spiciness with mellow richness, toasted almonds and hint of smoke. Very good presence in the mouth. Smooth.

Aromas of varnish and butterscotch greet the nose. Vanilla, peppers and bourbon notes follow on the palate. Medium finish. Good V4$ for a bourbony rye.

Sweet asparagus at the outset the fades away into nuts and lightly spiced angel cake. Vanilla, oak and light sweetness emerge on the palate.along with varnished ground pepper. There is a pine forest sensation on the finish. Delightful.

Spicy oils, grasses, dry fruit cake greet the nose in a pleasant somewhat understated fashion. Soft light ginger dominates the palate again in an understated way. It is "there" but almost too softly. Still a very pleasant sipping dram for those of a lighter persuasion.
