Tasting Notes by Megawatt
This new whisky is quite similar to their standard Barrel Select bottle, but at a higher strength with little to no sherry influence. The result is a whisky which displays firm aromas of dark spice, toasted walnut and pecan, toffee, cocoa, and vanilla. In the mouth it starts with honey and then builds with lots of spice and toasted nut flavours. It finishes with warm and lingering nut and caramel flavours. Overall it is a very good whisky which challenges more than your average Canadian. Very well-balanced and enjoyable; a great value.

No Sherry? Good. No sherry = no sulphur problems, which Forty Creek Barrel Select has. 43% ? Well, even an itty bitty little increase in concentration of flavours is better than none. It's a start. Thanks for your review, @Megawatt.

Interesting about sulpher in Barrel Select. Jim Murray noticed it too, but I've never detected it and I'm usually quite sensitive to such flavours. In any case I like this whisky more every time I drink it. This has already become a staple for me, which is unusualy since I seldom buy the same bottle twice in one month.

I looked for sulphur in my own bottle of Barrel Select and didn't find it at all...for a few months. Then the sulphur came out in spades and really wrecked the whisky. Interestingly, a few months after that the sulphur effect greatly diminished, leaving the whisky drinkable again. I will probably do a review of it soon, myself.
I am very interested in sampling this Forty Creek Copper Pot Reserve expression.
