I picked up two new bottles of Canadian whisky:
Century Reserve Lot 15-25 Custom Blend Canadian Rye Whisky 40%abv
"The whisky is composed of a blend of whiskies from a range of 15 to 25 years old. The barrels from which it is blended originated from Highwood's purchase of stocks from Potters, a whisky broker, and some of the older stocks likely originated from an even older (and now closed) Seagram's distillery in Weyburn, Saskatchewan". (Whisky Won excerpt).
Jim Murray likes this one at 88.5 (very good to excellent). I'll let you know what I think when I open it in the near future.
The other bottle I got today is:
Schenley Golden Wedding 40%abv with three whiskies, of different ages matured in white oak casks.
Excerpt from LCBO: "Light and smooth with a slight grainy quality in the aroma and flavour; balanced and smooth; full-bodied".
Jim Murray rates this one at 92 and calls it "sublime" with "extra age and maturity". _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."
