Whisky review : Collingwood (NAS) finished in Maple wood bottled @ 40%

-Cool bottling
-Finished in maple wood
-cheap.

Colour:  like a B Syrup, medium gold. Not very thick in the glass, very light.

Nose: sweet, maple water, maple sugar, touches of oak dust, spirit notes, grain spirit. You can smell the ripples in the nose for sure. As it is a NAS, it's easy to imagine it's a young spirit.

Mouth: Very mellow, sweet, maple comes through, soon after the sweet mellowness disappears, some ripples arise. Some might say it has a ''robust'' side to it. More maturing would help this one to really settle down.

Finish: Sweet, maple wood, touches of sugar, but brief. Still very acceptable for a Canadian whisky.

B+ for the taste. A smooth Canadian, a very interesting one for sure. ! Still some ripples, but I'm sure they'll work on it.
A- for the price. At 30$ (LCBO) it's a give away ! Really, a must try. Forget the TAP3-5-7, which is more of a maple ''liqueur'' than a real whisky. Plus, it's cheaper.
A++ for the presentation. One of the coolest bottling I saw so far. Looks like an aftershave bottle !
