The most outstanding whiskeys are not only produced in Scotland and Ireland. There are also other countries that produce such a noble distillate and one of them is Canada, famous for its smooth and delicate whiskeys made from cereals such as malted rye, barley and corn. The so-called Canadian whiskey is the one that is produced only in Canada and has remained, at least for three years, aging in oak barrels. Information provided by the website of .
Here are three of the best Canadian whiskies: Canadian Club Sherry Cask, Crown Royal Maple Finished and Wiser’s Canadian Whiskey 18 Years Old.
Canadian Club Sherry Cask
The most famous Canadian whiskey distillery is undoubtedly Canadian Club, founded in 1858 in Walkerville, Ontario. A good example of the quality of this firm is the Canadian Club Sherry Cask, a tasty and balanced whiskey that is made by taking very small quantities of its best whiskeys and leaving them to age for at least eight years in oak barrels that previously contained exquisite Spanish sherry wines.
Canadian Club Sherry Cask is deep bronze in color, with aromas of Mediterranean fruits accompanied by an intense union of toasted and vanilla touches from the barrel that contained it. Its flavor is full, with the essence of dates and figs, as well as soft toasted notes from the barrel. Its finish is pleasant, lasting, sweet and subtle.
Crown Royal Maple Finished
Crown Royal is a distillery that is based in Gimli, Manitoba. It is the Canadian distillery that sells the most whiskey in the world, and its proposals are very varied. One of the most recent is a whiskey of exceptional flavor: the Crown Royal Maple Finished, which brings together the traditional flavor of the brand, with its touch of natural maple flavoring and subsequent aging in American oak barrels.
With an intense dark amber color, its bottle is reminiscent of that of maple syrup. On the nose, the aroma of maple appears immediately, with hints of caramel and vanilla and nuances of oak from the barrel. In the mouth, the flavor of maple syrup, caramel and vanilla predominates, with a touch of spices such as pepper and cinnamon. The maple flavor remains for a long time on the palate, causing a very pleasant sensation that lasts.
Wiser’s Canadian Whiskey 18 Years Old
Corby Distilleries Limited produces the famous JP Wiser’s whiskeys in Toronto. From its wide range, one of the most seductive is Wiser’s Canadian Whiskey 18 Years Old, a supreme quality distillate made from a blend of different malted grains. Its aging in oak barrels for 18 years gives it its enormous quality and worldwide prestige.
It is deep amber in color, with elegant aromas of oak, autumn flowers and hints of fresh pine. On the palate it suggests notes of roasted apples, caramel and spices such as nutmeg and vanilla, as well as oak from the barrel. It has a unique finish, with a silky texture, balanced, soft and durable. A whiskey to enjoy from start to finish.
