Pike Creek 21 year old Speyside Cask Finish, 45%

Price: 90 Issue: Fall 2017 Reviewer: Davin de Kergommeaux Category: Canadian

Pike Creek is all about creating a rich blend, then finishing it in barrels previously filled with other flavorful spirits. Standard versions feature Port and rum finishes. This 21 year old edition spent nearly 6 months in Speyside malt whisky casks. The fruity Speysider left no smokiness behind, just spices, red fruits, and buttery barley malt. Extra rye makes for a spicier blend with a longish, dark fruit finish.
