A budget Canadian whisky for the mixing market - on the nose there's some pine, brown sugar, and spicy pepper. The palate is lightly sweet with a peppery and nutty character, with a tannic, fruity rye…

This whisky is a bit of a bolder release from the regular line of Alberta products, even with a tiny bit of sherry added to it (directly rather than through a sherry barrel). I believe it is, more or…

This whisky is produced at Hiram Walker distillery, as part of Sazerac's portfolio. It is clearly designed for mixing, and includes an easy pourer in the bottle. Originally it was produced in Toronto,…
