Whisky review : Still Waters 1+11 Blended Canadian Whisky Batch No.1201 bottled @ 40%.

-A new independent bottler

-Good price

-Looking forward for the next release.

Colour: light gold, oily, looks very thick in the glass. Very rare for a Canadian whisky not to have colouring or even a dark colour. If it's the case, the bottler should indicate the absence of caramel...

Nose: typical Canadian here, Corn, mashed corn, light coconut, not a very aggressive nose, like a quiet rum even. Pine cones, eucalyptus. Very similar to the Alberta premium but in a more relaxed way. Not as sweet as other Canadians....

Mouth: Soft arrival, vague sweet notes (quick to disappear) wood notes, white pepper, sweet-bitter notes like honey and bitter melon combined, Soft pine notes, it's a very gentle Canadian whisky, nothing like the others. It's round and gentle. However, it fades quickly in the palate. Good thing this you can feel, unlike other Canadians, the high quality of the spirit and how it was put together...no burn....nothing too harsh.

Finish: does not stay long.....leaves this bitter notes and eucalyptus.

B for the taste. It's not there yet, but very promising start. A must buy to drink or to collect. I can predict the next release will be amazing.

A+ for the price, at 29,65$ (LCBO), it's a great purchase.

C a big let down on the presentation here. I would pay 5$ more to get this bottle in a tubing or a box. Cork also seems very cheap. Advice : do not try to look high class if you can't, put a screw top or even a twist cap instead, not fake plastic ''cork''....
