Tasting Notes by GotOak91

With this particular whisky I decided to sample it with and without a tad bit of water. Let us begin shall we, without water first.

Nose: The first thing that came to mind was apples, fresh cut apples; and a gentle floral note. It would only go on from there..

Taste: Predominately apples same as the nose then cinnamon, oak, very mellow and not very complex.

Body: Medium easy to roll on the tongue soft and smooth no discernable roughness.

Finish:Smooth in and Smooth out and quick..

With water(1/4-1/2oz)

Nose: A little sweeter on the nose kind of like really juicy apples being cut (no joke). Still a little floral not as much as before..

Taste: Slightly sweeter on the tail end there is more rye this time also. No need to mention body and finish as they are quite the same just slightly diluted.

Overall: I don't know why this reminded me of apples all the way through its kind of weird not a bad thing though. Maybe batch quality does differ over time with this Reserve bottling of C.R. Question is would I buy this again? Yes I would buy it again maybe once more to see if Im right on batch differences but I would recommend this to our Canadian whisky drinkers. At least once...

After reading the other reviews maybe my palate isn't refined enough but then again not everyone's taste is exactly the same, either way practice makes perfect.
