Ex Libris The Apprenticeship 40YR Small Batch Canadian Whisky

Description

ABV: 61.9%

Tasting Notes: Kettle corn, sweet toffee, syrup, vanilla, and some sap and pine. The palate blossoms with thick whip cream up front followed by earthy rye spice, burnt caramel corn, and cracker jack popcorn. A dash of earthy peat bogs are present with some time with air but otherwise, the peated quarter casks are very subtle.

About the Product: Bottled by La Maison du Whisky under their Ex Libris label. It is a small blend of 40-year-old whiskies distilled in 1982 by JP Wisers in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. These are corn whiskies aged in Speyside casks married with a small percentage of rye whiskey matured in quarter casks that previously held peated Scotch Whisky. Only 150 bottles in the US, 480 total worldwide.

This bottle The Apprenticeship is named after Mordecai Richlers 1959 classic novel, the Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.
