Forty Creek Barrel Select
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 8 The richest-tasting Canadian whisky I have tasted. Wins points for luxury.

Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 4 Stylish. Though the oak has a big say, the spirit is holding its own well.

Forty Creek John K Hall Double Barrel
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 6 Not working for me.

Forty Creek John K Hall Small Batch Reserve
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 7 Interesting nose but the palate does not quite fulfil the expectations. Oak speaks too loud at times.

Forty Creek Three Grain
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 7 In palate, the closer of the two to the Canadian tradition. Wins points for that attribute. I could drink quite a few of these.

Gibson's Finest 12 Years Old
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 7 Pleasant and well-balanced, with a freshness and confidence.

Gibson's Finest 18 Years Old
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 8 Appetising, Very enjoyable.

Gibson's Finest Sterling
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 7 Is there enough of a bridge between the youngest and oldest whiskies?

Proof Whisky
Blended - Canada - 42.00% 6 I remain baffled, but will be using the remnants of the sample to make a cocktail.

Revel Stoke Spiced Whisky
Blended - Canada - 45.00% 7 Well made.

Seagram's VO
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 7 A well put together dram with a solid oak frame.

Seagram's VO GOld
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 7 Rye is well brought in without oak overwhelming. Water brings in a nice minty freshness.

Seagram's VO GOld 8 Years Old
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 8 Light and delicate, but beautifully composed.

Windsor Canadian
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 6 Another example of a “worked upon” whisky. Rather dismantled in its sweetness.

Wiser's 18 Years Old
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 8 A well integrated combination of fruit and oak. A dram for uplifting hikers back from a wet walk.

Wiser's Deluxe
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 7 Does not reflect a quality spirit. Looks as if it had been sweetened.

Wiser's Reserve
Blended - Canada - 43.00% 7 All that caramel dress up seems to hide an immature spirit. Has it been aged in decent wood? One can wonder.
