Gooderham & Worts Eleven Souls  Canada

Tasting Notes: With it being Canada's birth month, I'm choosing a favourite Canadian whisky of mine. If you've been hesitant to try Canadian whiskies, this one is definitely sure to win you over. Gooderham & Worts has an inspiring story on the back of the bottle about William Gooderham adopting 11 children whose parents died during a migrating voyage. This delicious bottle is a tribute to those families and has been finished in 11 different barrels. The abv sits at 49%. It's got beautiful colour and flavour making it a perfect little Canadian to bring to your celebrations. Cheers!

Price: $110.99

Toki Japanese Whisky  Japan

Tasting Notes: Toki Japanese Whisky by Suntory sits at 43% abv. It's a a delicious introductory if you're looking to expand your whisky prowess into the Japanese style. Very soft and easy to drink. In Japan, soda cocktails are gaining in popularity and this one would be a perfect mix.

Price: $65.99

Pike Creek 10 Year Old  Canada

Tasting Notes: Have I mentioned how much I like Canadian whisky? It's innovative, creative and adaptable. Pike Creek is a great example and sits at 42% abv. This one has been aged in rum barrels for 10 years making it sweet enough to sip neat but also great in an old fashioned.

Price: $39.99

Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey Liqueur  USA

Tasting Notes: Wondering what to get your honey for Valentine's Day? I'm thinking this sweet honey liqueur is the perfect sweet for your sweet and lasts much longer than flowers. JD Honey sits at 35% abv and is great over ice and even better in a delicious hot toddy. Boil 3/4 cups water, add 2oz of JD, 2 tsp lemon. Garnish with a cinnamon stick. If a sweet little Tennessee hug doesn't win over your Valentine...add more whiskey. Cheers!

Price: $41.99

Arran Robert Burns Single Malt  Scotland

Tasting Notes: It's Robbie Burns month so of course I had to pick a scotch bearing my favourite exciseman's name. This single malt from the Isle of Arran sits at 43% abv. It's light and fruity with notes of vanilla. Not overly complicated if you're a beginner scotch drinker but complex enough if you have a more versed palate. This one is a definite must have for January 25! Cheers

Price: $53.99

 

Jennifer's Picks

Blanton's Bourbon Mini  USA

Tasting Notes: Not only are Blanton's Mini bourbons the cutest little stocking stuffer for your whiskey lover but they fit perfectly in that stocking's toe! Wishing you the merriest Christmas despite this year's trials and tribulations. Cheers

Price: $24.99

Alberta Premium 20 Year Whisky  Canada

Tasting Notes: I'm sure most whisky lovers have heard Jim Murray's Whisky Bible has recommended Alberta Premium's Cask Strength Whisky. I'm picking Alberta Premium's 20 Year Edition because I think this makes more sense for the average whisky drinker. This bottle is just as special as the Cask Strength Edition as it's been aged for a whopping 20 years. It also has a more palatable 42% abv for the average whisky drinker compared to the Cask Strength Edition which is 65.1% abv. The best part about the Alberta Premium 20 Year Edition...it's actually still available at Aligra! Cheers

Price: $91.99
