Wayne Gretzky – Red Cask Whisky

Whisky made the Canadian way—locally sourced grains are individually distilled, matured and blended, then finished in red wine casks from the Wayne Gretzky winery. At first swirl of the glass look for top notes of toasty new oak, almond nuttiness, caramel and vanilla. Then underlying notes appear suggesting nutmeg spice and stone fruit. After adding a touch of water, added notes of sweet spice and dark raisin develop. The mouthfeel is smooth, round and robust, with a touch of woody tannins for structure, along with deep notes of toasted nuts and allspice. The finish is long and lingering with a delicately sweet, smooth texture and flavours of nut and allspice.
