<h4>Discover the products that will be poured:</h4>
- FORTY CREEK - HONEY SPICED
This spicy but subtly-sweet flavoured whisky is a true delight; a complex blend that's easy to drink in your favourite whisky cocktails. An extraordinary blend of Forty Creek Canadian whisky infused with the flavour of honey and a selection of spices.
- FORTY CREEK - BARREL SELECT
Forty Creek Barrel Select won Gold in the Canadian Whisky Awards 2024. A blend of various grain whiskies aged in a mix of seasoned ex-bourbon barrels and new American white oak for a unique and full flavour profile. Features aromas of honey, vanilla and apricot fused with toasted oak, black walnut, and spice. Robust, complex, rich, and bold flavours of vanilla, honey, and cocoa with a toasted earthiness. Completed with a smooth, lingering, and memorable finish.
- FORTY CREEK - CONFEDERATION OAK RESERVE
Gold, San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2022. A celebration of both Canada's 1867 Confederation, and Canadian ingenuity. This whisky is finished for up to 2 years in new Canadian oak barrels, which have a tighter grain due to Canada's colder climate, and impart a truly Canadian flavour profile.
- FORTY CREEK - DOUBLE BARREL
Gold, San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2022. An extra-aged whisky that is a true celebration of the intricate and subtle flavours imparted by barrel aging. The individual rye, barley and corn whiskies are extra-aged in a variety of barrels before being masterfully blended. The resulting liquid then goes through up to 2 years of secondary aging in once-used bourbon barrels.
- FORTY CREEK - COPPER BOLD
92 Points, Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021: "Sweet nose of hard butterscotch candy, baked peach, lacy vanilla, and warm earth. In the mouth the whisky feels round and generous bringing more refined oak flavors and showing a gently emerging toasted spice note."
