Maple Syrup & Toasted Oats & Orange Zest & Vanilla
&Whisky
The &Whisky folks have donned their snow boots and headed to the Great White North (that's Canada), and they've brought back some goodies: it's Maple Syrup & Toasted Oats & Orange Zest & Vanilla! What we have here is a tremendous Canadian corn whisky that's as sweet, spicy and complex as bourbons twice the price. But how does it taste? Well the clue is indeed in the name here, and you can expect plenty of sweet nuttiness coming through for sure. A bottle of this, some friends, a fireplace, and we'd say that's a pretty perfect evening eh?
Buttery toffee popcorn and chocolate cornflake cakes, plantain, toasted oats and maple syrup with a rancio-like edge. Bonkers stuff!
Orange zest with Florentines full of biscuity, nutty, candied cherry, dark chocolate, honeyed goodness. Black tea and vanilla.
Juicy Fruit, sweet tea, and rolled oats. Mmm. Moreish.

Nose is ok, fairly mild citrus. Then it disappoints! The taste is too artificial, almost like I’ve been in the garage cleaning the paint brushes in white spirit. Long finish mind, close to a herbal gin if anything. I’ll give it another shot and hope it grows on me.
Delicious neat or with ginger ale.
Great tasting whisky which punches well above its weight. I bought it as an “everyday” sipper but its Christmassy flavours had me drinking it at a much faster rate than that.
The orange hits you as soon as you release the cork. The kind of old orange left in the bowl too long with a lovely bitter hit. After a while the honey balances the orange. A sweet taste that might appeal to both sherry bomb fans, bourbon lovers and mainstream whisky sippers.
Throw your price & label pretensions out of the window this whisky is superb ! If this bottle had a Whistlepig or Yamazaki label on it (and was £200 !) everybody would be raving about it. This whisky belies its price and is a real credit to Master of Malt for their efforts. It is so smooth, I am finishing a bottle alarmingly quickly and then ordering another just as quickly :-). Tip… if your usual dram is shy of the £100 Free Delivery threshold order one of these to try.
