20 years old canadian rye whiskey?! Wow!
It's rare, not too complex but a lightweight,
unique piece.

Nose

Oily and creamy texture.
Rye, spices, pine resin.

Taste

Creamy, oily and spicy.
Caramelized cherry, honey and ginger.
Earthy forest fruits.

Finish

Not too long, sweet with some fresh mint

The nose and initial taste were not the best but it most definitely did improve from then on.

I could not drink a lot of this stuff but found it entertaining, definitely different.

As far as I know maturation for twenty years is not very common for Canadian Whiskey. However, it doesn't make this whiskey more complex in my view. Still an enjoyable 'sipping' whiskey for the summer.

Nose

A sort of 'rye dustiness' of pencil shavings and gentle spices of cloves and nutmeg. Quite grassy as well. Some floral notes of freesias and lilac. Camomile tea. Later on hints of pine.

Taste

Quite creamy. Lots of cherry glace and barley sugar. Toffee sweetness. Cedar wood intermingled with vanilla and honey. Followed by a slightly earthy mustiness. Even strawberries at the background.

Finish

Medium long. Milk chocolate. A little menthol at the end.
