Which Forty Creek did you have? I've been meaning to try one of theirs so any guidance towards a good one would be appreciated!

I went to a tasting event and tried the "Double Barrel Reserve" the "Copper Pot" and the "Barrel Select" and my favourite was the basic one, the "Barrel Select", this one:

Forty Creek Whisky - Products

This is the only Canadian whiskey that I can enjoy neat, the usual one like CC and CR must be mixed as they are kind of harsh IMHO.

I think this is a great start to the New Year!

Lynn, what is the first bottle on the left?
I picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace Single Barrel this week, but really thinking hard on Eagle Rare for my next Bourbon.

In other news, Highland Park has a Youtube Channel. I watched a series of videos showing how they make Whisky from the peat being harvested to marrying and filtering. I consider myself an expert now>

Van Winkle 12 yr. Also have the Pappy Van Winkle 23 yr. Both are awesome!!

Like stock and gold, whiskey is susceptible to a bubble.
