Forty Creek Three Grain Twentieth Anniversary, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2020 ● Reviewer: Davin de Kergommeaux ● Category: Canadian
This final reprise of one of Forty Creek's original whiskies is one juicy, succulentdram. Fruity hints of red grapes on the nose mingle with sherry-sweetened pipetobacco and herbal earthiness. Sizzling peppers bolster a palate rich in nutty waxybarley, soft oily corn, and dry dusty rye. Suggestions of halva and citrus zest lead intoa long, briskly spicy herbal finish.
