- Color
- Pale Gold
- Nose
- Sweet, heavy butterscotch notes, smoke, alcohol.
- Body
- Very thin, it leaves very little impression, but for some reason I don't mind. . .
- Palate
- again, heavy on the butterscotch, but the sweetness disappeared to quickly, there isn't that much from there on in.
- Finish
- Warm and numb,
I like it, but that's not to say that it's a good single malt. For some reason, even the bad sides of this whiskey appeal to me.

Nothing special, as far as Canadian rye goes, it's pretty average, forty creek is considerably better,

A very very good bourbon. I've gone and tryed every bourbon they have at my local LCBO, and for the price, this stuff cannot be beat, I would say that it is even better than makers mark, knob creek, woodford reserve, And it's twenty dollars cheaper.

- Palate
- Big oak flavour, sugar in the raw, sea salt, cherry wood smoke, vanilla.
- Finish
- Moderate length finish, a little thin on the end, but it works.
I thought I was a scotch man for life until I had this, bourbon is my bag for sure. Scotch is still a tasty treat, but I friggin love this stuff,

- Color
- Straw yellow
- Nose
- Medium smoke, light peat, lemon zest, maraschino cherries.
- Body
- A bit wattery, light and slippery.
- Palate
- Some sweetness, Peat, lemon, spice, charcoal.
- Finish
- long, medium astringency, with a strange maraschino cherry after taste.
A little thin and straight forward in the character department. But still a decent whisky. I don't know if it deserves the hype, but it certainley deserves some respect.

A dang fine bourbon, surprisingly smooth considering the %50abv. Not quit the best bang for you buck as far as bourban goes, but still very good.
