Forty Creek Confederation Oak, 40% abv
Deep, rich, spicy and roasted nuts at the outset on the nose. A second nosing adds some dry grass undertones. Ginger, vanilla bean with swetness and spices on the palate. Lovely full and rich mouthfeel. Spices linger on the finish.

Hiram Walker Special Old Rye Whisky, 40% abv
Light ginger spices on the nose. Soft, mild solventy notes on the palate. Very delicate, simple, almost thin on the palate. Light gingery short finish. An apéritif sipping dram - no more.

Century Reserve 15 Year Old Canadian Rye Whiskey, 40% abv
Surprising light soft rye notes on the nose followed by pleasant spices on palate. Overall a fresh, light, simple and pleasant wee dram. An apéritif.

Canadian Club Classic 12 Years Old, 40% abv
I tasted this whisky using The Famous Grouse as a comparison standard ( the latter I rated as 60). I found the Famous Grouse to be mellower than the CC Clasic which had hints of honey and fennel with an unfortunate cloying resinous finish.
