The Forager Botanical, 40%

This gem from Forty Creek revives the tradition of adding herbs to whisky. Subduedtoffee on the nose rolls into a general earthiness, followed by prune juice and gentlespirit. The palate immediately shows white pepper with sweet soothing caramelsbehind, finishing in a long, vaguely woody herbal essence. Added herbs subtlyenhance the whisky flavors rather than offering their own. If ever a whisky sparkled,this is it. $35 CAD
