Forty Creek Unity, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Davin de Kergommeaux ● Category: Canadian
Fifteenyears ago, Forty Creek used starboard (port-style wine) barrels to finish their legendary Portwood Reserve. The wine was emptied into fresh Forty Creek whisky barrels. Now, master blender Bill Ashburn has added back some of that original starboard to Forty Creek Unity. This lush, mouth-filling, butterscotch-sweet whisky bursts with red fruits, raisin tarts, hints of burnt toffee, and a restrained peppery glow.
