An ultra-aged, limited-allocation Canadian blended whisky released as part of the brand’s prestigious High Altitude Collection. Masterfully blended from eight distinct components aged between 20 and 27 years (resulting in a derived mashbill of 80% Corn, 19% Rye, and 1% Malted Barley), this release boasts an impressive 59.9% ABV (119.8 Proof). What sets this specific iteration apart is its unique secondary maturation; the married whiskies were finished for five months in a combination of Cognac, ISC 18-month air-dried new American oak, and Armagnac casks, the latter introduced specifically to inject deeper fruit and savory tones.
Tasting Notes
The expression delivers a remarkably thick, viscous texture characterized by an evolving and shifting profile of complex flavor notes. On the nose, it opens with a highly fragrant bouquet of buttered cornbread, bananas foster, fresh blackberry, and red raspberry, all accented by zesty oak and a hint of chili flake. The palate introduces plush orchard fruits like golden apple and French butter pear before quickly transitioning into rich maple candy, sticky blackberry fruit leather, and crème brûlée. Finally, it concludes with a long, warming finish where heavy baking spices such as nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon collide with exotic wood phenols, sweet tobacco, leather, dark chocolate, and a subtle trace of saline.
