Canadian Corn Whisky 8 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

Canadian corn whisky

You can always trust That Boutique-y Whisky Company to bottle up some brilliant whisky – the indie bottler has been at it for over a decade, releasing some truly superb single casks, small batches, limited editions. This Canadian corn whisky is no exception, except for the "limited edition" bit, because this one forms part of the Boutique-y Whisky core range... all in proper, grown up, 70cl bottles! Matured for eight years, entirely in oloroso casks, it's packed with layers of sherried fruit, toffee ice cream, toasted almonds, and popcorn.

"Ice cream and vanilla wafers? This is right up my street. Thankfully it's part of Boutique-y's core range so I can glug it to my heart's content knowing it's not the last bottle on the planet."

Butterscotch and charred oak are joined by a touch of peppercorn warmth for the finish.
