This limited release premium whisky is a tribute to Master Blender Bill Ashburn's dedication and resolve to create some of the most awarded Canadian whiskies over the past 20 years. This smooth and complex whisky has an elevated spice profile rounded out with a drop of vintage Villard Noir Port. Medium intensity on the nose with hints of lemon, cedar, orange and green apple. The complex palate is reminiscent of long-matured Christmas cake with cereal and a pulling bitterness that balances the barley sugar sweetness of candied fruit. Peppery with restrained but increasing heat and hints of grape skins. Lingering acidity and long peppery finish.
