Honey Spiced Flavored Canadian Whisky

Category: Flavored Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: Canada
Alcohol: 40%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of dark honey, baking spices, butterscotch, and candy corn and clove with a glycerous, bright, off-dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish that shows notes of basswood honey, english toffee with peanuts, caramel on corn bread, and cinnamon. Like an American Sortilege; has a nice sweet baking spice layered onto the Bourbon.

Flavored Whiskey

Flavored whiskeys are distilled alcoholic beverages produced form grain (rye, corn, barley) that have had additional flavoring included. These flavors cover a wide array from honey to apple to cinnamon. Most of these flavored whiskies are from North America, although there are a few from Europe.

While these can be enjoyed over ice, most are used mixed with soda or tonic or else in a hot toddy.
