Pike Creek is a 10-year-old double-barreled Canadian whisky, and, despite the poor reputation of some Canadian whisky, this one is full-flavoured and mellow, a blend of oak-aged whisky finished in vintage port barrels. The aromas of the bottled product are a succulent blend of maple and citrus, a smell warm and inviting. On the palate the maple becomes more of a buttery toffee, complemented further by the fieriness of the alcohol. The aftertaste, at first the spice of the rye, is followed by a mouth-watering toffee richness, that extra depth supplied by its time spent in port barrels. Overall, a great find!
Wow, this sounds great! I'm based in Toronto, and I've never heard of it! Hopefully I will find it in Calgary when I get there on Thursday for a business trip...
