Conclusion: My very first Canadian whisky, and I am not disappointed. I like this.
The typical ex-Sherry characteristics do not dominate the whisky, just as the expected rye-notes that are there, but somewhere in the background-choir. Nicely balanced for my taste.
The sample was kindly sent to us in order to join Twitter Tasting, book review and Scavenger Hunt #DavinTT2, organised by #WhiskyFabric weavers Johanne McInnis & Graham MacKenney and Davin de Kergommeaux, author of the book Canadian Whisky, a must have on the bookshelf of any whisky enthusiast.
More info from the website: "Canadian Club Sherry Cask proves Canadian whisky can be so much more than just an ingredient in a Manhattan. To make Sherry Cask, very small quantities of our finest whiskies are aged for at least 8 years in white oak barrels and then double matured in Fino sherry casks imported from Jerez, Spain."
