I just noticed that this whisky is 90 proof, a rarity in Canada. Makes the price a little more justifiable, I suppose. I wish John Hall would age his limited-edition whiskies longer, though. I think standard Barrel Select is a 6-year-old blend, and the special releases have an additional 2 years of finishing. In my experience Canadian whisky improves mightily with age. I bet a 12-year-old Forty Creek would go down quite nicely...
