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.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels (in this case, it's a Boutique-y deer... NO IT's A MOOSE this time! Ah. Canada. We get it.)
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Buttery layers of raisin studded fudge and blueberry muffins, mellow oak and honeyed dates, plus some candied pecans in the distance.
Palate A medley of cooked fruit, vanilla wafer, and toffee ripple ice cream, with almond butter, popcorn, and stewed apricot.
Finish Butterscotch and charred oak are joined by a touch of peppercorn warmth for the finish.
