Canadian Club 40 year old, 45%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2017 ● Reviewer: Davin de Kergommeaux ● Category: Canadian
After 40 years in barrels, the trademark Canadian Club dark fruit is as rich as ever. Reminiscent of raisin tarts with sprinkles of sweet baking spices, then strawberries and black pepper. Warming but never hot. No tannins, no woodiness; silky barrel tones are the only hint of oak, while soaring floral esters speak loudly of time in the barrel. The glowing, never-ending finish is spectacular. Canada's Sesquicentennial Celebratory Release. C$250
