Any canadian whisky drinkers?

Muddy, go to a meeting. The passion which you spoke with in this thread indicates you need to go to a meeting.

Matty have you tried this? I just bought a bottle and have the 1st glass on ice awaiting my first taste.

No, is it available at the LCBO? I love Forty Creek's stuff, I'm sure this is going to be badass.

 

[mrquincy]

First time I saw it today... It is pretty rich... had only 1 sip so far.... its at normal price too!

 

[mrquincy]

I let the 2nd sip sit on my tongue a bit longer. You can really taste the oak barrel and definitely a lot of crazy flavors going on... 43%

 

[Matty]

Yeh, Forty Creek is a lot sweeter and more in-your-face than Crown Royal et al. Try adding several drops of water if you find it too sweet.

Ima get a bottle on the way home, thanks for the heads up MrQ!

Have you ever tried any of this stuff - http://www.glenoradistillery.com/glenbreton.htm

 

[Matty]

No. I considered trying it a bunch of times but I can't bring myself to pay 80 bucks for Canadian whisky.

Do you enjoy drinking whiskey?

WTF Quebec :

Do you enjoy drinking whiskey?

Very little whiskey I don't like. I can think of 2:

1) Wild Turkey 80
2) Tap 357

I even enjoy Johnnie Walker Red, and that's disgusting swill by most people's standards.

 

[Matty]

That maple shit works really well in apple cider though. Tastes like candy apple. The GF loves it.

bought this one for super bowl party. I have high hopes, it looks a bit pale in color though

 

[Matty]

Color means nothing. Actually a pale color usually indicates premium whisky. All the mainstream stuff is filled with E150a (caramel coloring) cause people think that darker = better. Color sells. Only those distilleries that cater to whisky nerds forego the stupid coloring.

Lagavulin and Ardbeg are world-class whiskies and they're the colour of regular piss.

 

[Matty]

Actually Lagavulin also puts coloring in their standard 16yo. Only a handful of distilleries don't - off the top of my head, Ardbeg, Glenfarclas & Ardmore.

Bourbon doesn't have coloring (by law). Canadian whisky is usually chock-full of it.

My Dad drinks Canadian Whiskey. My Dad wouldn't know a good whiskey if it crashed through his roof.

Bought him a bottle of JD Single Barrel Christmas of 2011 and he said with a straight face that he didn't like it.
