Pike Creek 10 Year Old

Port cask finish was much better. Not sure why they went for the rum barrels but it was not an improvement.

Very nice drink at this price point neat or on the rocks not terribly complex but under $30.00 solid

Absolutely sublime, the rum cask and brown sugar notes really come through in this smooth Canadian Whisky. It's not peaty or harsh like some of the Scottish counterparts, but dare I say moreish. One glass can easily become two. Definitely one of the best tasting Canadian whisky I have come across in 30yrs.

Absolutely sublime, the rum cakes flavour and brown sugar notes really come through in this smooth Whisky. In true Canadian whisky fashion, this does not disappoint. I received a bottle as a birthday present and have seriously been blown away by it. It's also very smooth over ice, and doesn't come over all peaty like its Scottish counterparts.

Is not a Whisky that's for sure.. is more of a Rhum! Reminded me some of Caroni Rhum watered down. Rhum finishing just overpowering. Is ok I've paid only £20 on offer but I wouldn't buy it again.

When it was finished in port barrels it was excellent. Now that it is finished in rum barrels it is harsh and bitter. Not sure what the reason for the change was but it was a poor move on the distilleries part as far as I'm concerned.

Nice initial flavour, but a little too sweet to be a good whiskey. Too sugary for me.

Stunning flavour, smooth, even to people who don't drink whisky (as I found to my cost). Will soon be replacing this fast disappearing bottle..... and angels they ain't, I'm sharing it with! Five star

I'm not sure what this drink is. It's advertised as whiskey but tastes more like some strange rum infused cocktail drink. It's not awful, and is drinkable, but there is zero whiskey / bourbon flavour at all. just sweet rum and a bit of a rye flavour. Nothing. No spice, no peat, no citrus. So if you're expecting whiskey then you'll be disappointed.

Well... This "Is" a superurb whiskey. How the hell other more well known brands stay around when this whisky is around baffles me. I go through a bottle a month & look forward to every drop.. The aroma/taste is just wonderful... Send me some discount so I can get more😋

It's nice...if you like a grain of barley in your rum.

Hi, great article. I got a chance to sample the American release of Pike Creek port finished, and although it is a bit on the light side, I quite enjoyed it. Looking forward to trying their rum release - but sad to read that the port releases are no longer made. It is difficult finding a good and affordable, port-finished bourbon, so this port-finished Canadian whiskey was quite a find. Any others like it?

Seen this in asda reduced from £28 to £20 pounds so thought I,d give it a go. Usually drink single malts but have been trying more blended whisky for a change and have found some crackers ( cutty sark prohibition being one). This has been finished in rum barrels and personally I think it tastes like a really good rum which is no bad thing. If you fancy trying something different from the norm then I don't think you will be disappointed. I'm having it with a wee bit of ice and really enjoying. Would buy again when my taste buds are looking for something a bit different.

I have had both - rum cask finished and port casks - and I have to say, I absolutely love the Port finished. As stated by another review, almost too smooth, but the port cask imparts some very nice finishing notes ... and though I do not love sweet, I do in this whiskey. I will need to give the rum cask finished another try, but, if you can find the port ones ... get it and try it. You will not be disappointed at all. And if you are, send it to me! I would give it a 4.25-4.5 out of 5.

Was curious.Bought it over similar priced Tullibardine 500 and Jw Green. What a mistake. Rough and no distinct taste. Sorry , not my taste
