Still Waters Stalk & Barrel #Canada150

@Megawatt wow that good huh? Shit now I have more stuff to FOMO over at the LCBO

Thanks for the review, as discussed previously I have been very curious about this one, since it contained no sourced juice and actually has a pretty ballsy ABV (for a Canadian whisky) @JasonHambrey gave it a favorable review as well

@Megawatt Ok so I snagged a bottle back in November but only had one or two cursory drams from it.

Last week I sat down to a healthy dram of this and the last two episodes of the bodyguard on Netflix, wow it really grows on you (the whisky ), it starts off kind of simple but woven throughout are these intriguing touches, the finish and the malty side once the glass is finished is awesome.

The blending is well done and it's a really a different take on Canadian whisky. Thanks for recommending it so strongly I might have skipped out on picking up a bottle and at 30$ was a steal, my only regret is not buying another.

@cricklewood I'm almost done my second bottle and I think I'll miss it when it's gone.

@Megawatt damn you crushed both of those quickly.

@Megawatt This is a shockingly good whisky. The corn, malted barley, and rye, while not married into a homogenous singularity, somehow complement each other. There is a complexity of favours(corn, baking spices, vanilla, carmel, tobacco and coconut) which twinkle on the palate. They contrast and complement. The complexity of favours is salivating for another taste even, with a drying finish.

@fiddich1980 your comment really clarified what I had been feeling about this whisky, it hasn't been blended into a homogeneously, it's an interesting dialogue among the components, sometimes everyone is talking other times the rye, malt or corn are leading the conversation.
