Whisky review : Pike Creek Double Barreled 10 years old port finish bottled @ 40%

Whisky review : Pike Creek Double Barreled 10 years old port finish bottled @ 40%

-Cool bottling but cheap thread...simply glued on it.
-Port wine finish
-Sadly bottled at 40%...
-Rare whisky ! 

Colour : light goldish amberish. Very clean colour. I would suspect this is the result of the Port finish, a light Tawny port. Very thin if may say so.

Nose: You can clearly see the port influence here, sherry, spices, hot vibrant brown sugar, sugar cane, wood dust, nutty, caramel.

Mouth: Caramilk's caramel, malted milk, sugar, port, spices,ether, a few ''robust'' notes, spirity, some harsh tones. Dark fruits, but nothing over the top.

Finish: sweet, cherried caramel, light toffee, not very long nor memorable but still interesting.                                                                          
A for the price. Currently standing at 39.9$ (LCBO), it's a must buy for anyone wanting to enjoy a good yet different Canadian whisky.
B+ for the taste. The fact that it is still harsh and has ripples prevent this otherwise great whisky to achieve excellency.
A- for the presentation. I can understand the ''rustic'' aspect of the cord but....just don't stick it on with hot-melt glue...
