40 Creek Three Grain Harmony

Gooderham & Worts Canadian Whisky
$44.99
This is one of the most interesting new Canadian whiskies to hit the market and our staff are in love. So are the critics. CanadianWhisky.org gave it 5 Stars (Very Highly Recomended) and Whisky Advocate scored it 90pts.
Tasting Note by Davin de Kergommeaux (www.whiskyadvocate.com): Innovation is key at Windsor’s Corby Distillers. Though best known for its Wiser’s range, Corby also makes this juicy new four-grain beauty. Big and firm on the palate, G&W glides into a buttery corn-whisky slather flooded with delicate rye flowers, nutty dusty barley, and soft, sweet wheat notes. Want the list? Crisp clean oak, citrus pith, stewed fruits, meadow flowers, and brisk pepper with mildly pulling tannins."

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: doughy and soft, the nose is not as bright as the 17 year, but it is deeper and more balanced; it screams corn...: corn syrup, corn meal, corn bread and caramel corn; loads of caramel, floral like the 17 year but with thicker vanilla.
Palate: round and fruity, deeper and darker than the original bottling, more caramel, and richer fruits: raisin, candy-apple, juicy orange and some tart pineapple; smooth and elegant the whisky is soft and layered; there is a floral side to it too, but it is held back by the oak; still dominated by the sweet corn notes.
Finish: long, sweet and fruity; fading caramel, oak spices and floral tones; the floral elements flourish on the finish.
Comment: this is softer, fruitier and even more drinkable than the original release; elegant and layered!
