Forty Creek Heritage Limited Edition 2017

The new limited edition from Forty Creek, made in the model of the old Forty Creek Small Batch - their first in the line of a very impressive set of special releases - only 6000 bottles were produced, and many people thought it was similar to a bourbon in style. The 40 Creek master blender wanted to revisit that flavor profile, and spent months blending to attain something similar - finishing the whisky in heavily toasted (not charred) casks, which apparently maintains more of the barrel spices without the sweetness since the charring would tend to bring out the caramels.

Forty Creek Heritage Limited Edition 2017 Tasting Notes

Nose: Notes of toffee , fresh white oak, cinnamon, grape, orange peel, semolina pasta, browned butter, caramel, rising sourdough, white rice, and toasted oak.

Palate: Big, buttery, and full of spice and toffee. Great bready notes and oiliness.

Finish: Nice browned butter, caramel, toffee, licorice root, old world pinot noir, and white pepper. Terrific fall whisky.
