Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is rich, inviting, and complex, with a combination of sweet and savory aromas. There’s an initial burst of vanilla, honey, and caramel, followed by deeper, more robust notes of oak, leather, and tobacco. Subtle dried fruit aromas, such as raisins and figs, add a layer of sweetness, while a touch of dark chocolate and toffee rounds out the profile. A gentle spiciness from the rye is evident, with hints of cinnamon and clove, and a faint smokiness that evokes the long maturation in oak casks. The complexity of the nose is enhanced by a slight herbal undertone, creating an intriguing and layered aroma.

TASTE: On the palate, Canadian Rockies 35yo is full-bodied and remarkably smooth, with a luxurious mouthfeel that coats the tongue. The rich sweetness of caramel, vanilla, and honey is balanced by the deep oak influence, which imparts flavors of toasted wood, leather, and a subtle smokiness. Dried fruits—raisins, figs, and prunes—are prominent, providing a layer of richness and complexity. The rye spice is present but gentle, offering a delicate peppery warmth that blends harmoniously with the oak and dark chocolate flavors. A touch of toffee and a light herbal bitterness provide depth and contrast, creating a well-rounded and sophisticated flavor profile.

FINISH: The finish is long, smooth, and warming, with the oak influence lingering and imparting a rich, leathery aftertaste. The sweetness from the caramel, vanilla, and dried fruit gradually fades, while the rye spice leaves a gentle, peppery warmth that extends the finish. A soft smokiness and traces of dark chocolate and toffee round out the experience, ensuring a memorable and elegant conclusion. The whisky’s exceptional age and craftsmanship are evident throughout, making this a rare and unforgettable expression.
