Sortilège Prestige 7 years old

A rye-fueled horse-drawn sleigh ride to a backwoods Quebec sugar shack springs instantly to mind. Vanilla toasted wood brittle maple snow taffy and the woody crystalline granularity of maple sugar in a velvety smooth whisky base. Hot pepper wood smoke and green maple bark fold into a steaming cauldron of whisky barrel notes. The first few days’ maple syrup is the richest and that alone is what blender Michel Marcil uses for this ultra-premium maple whisky. (Quebec only (dang!)) C$50
