Snake River Stampede 8 year old

They call it cowboy whisky: Smallish bottlers mostly in the western U.S. buy custom-blended bulk whisky from Canada to release under their own label. This one has enough cachet to find its way back north and into the Canadian market. Sweet and smooth with rich buttery caramels searing pepper sizzling ginger and slatey dusty rye. Rich dark fruits on the palate turn to zesty citrus notes then cleansing pith as one sip slowly dissolves into the next. C$25
