Whisky review : Alberta Premium ''Dark Horse'' , bottled @ 45%

-New great release of Alberta premium
-Great bottling
-Hopes this Canadian meets the need of connoisseur
-Regular twist-cap

Colour: orange coppery. very dark and oily, very long legs.

Nose: Ionized metal, a lot of spices, cinnamon, touches of Anise ,creamy coconut, some kind of hot and wet copper pan...very interesting yet bizarre, sherried wood and more spices, Tobacco leaves, captain black pipe tobacco. It's a very complex and thick nose for a Canadian whisky. Broken sugar pieces.

Mouth: Spices, Sherry arrival....then a boom of fruits (small red fruits...berries) on the palate followed by licorice, more spices, pepper notes, but more like a hot pepper. Acidic, yet not unpleasant. Touches of candied ginger, more and more sherry and spices, lots of it. Eucalyptus. The metallic nose is not in the taste for sure. I'm not sure I would add water to this as I feel it's already great neat.

Finish: It leaves a more intense sherry taste than the CC Sherry Cask. Yet this one is more balanced with spices and some hidden fruity notes. Yes a Canadian whisky with a finish, a real one!

A++ for the price, for less 30$ at the LCBO, it's a steal. A definite must try for the price. It's even cheaper than some of the Canadian Club or the Forty Creek.
A for the taste. I am amazed by this Canadian Whisky, I have to admit it. For 29ish dollar.....w.o.w Possible one to store or to buy asap.
A for the presentation. Great bottling, nice sober yet modern label. Highly recommended.
