Caribou Crossing

Nose: soft rye bread, light cinnamon spice.  Very subtle nose, not much there.

Palate: sugary sweet, mellow and even. Spice is very minimal.  Unimpressive, but inoffensive.

Finish: no burn, light tingling. Still pretty sweet.

So, this is a Canadian whisky offering from buffalo trace.  See, BT named themselves after a buffalo crossing, and this is their Canadian whisky... Get it? Ha.

Not bad stuff, but nothing to write home about. Got this on a whim and a recommendation from a store owner (over on Woodward).  Another customer came in while I was browsing and bought a couple of bottles as it had been out of stock.  I was not overly impressed.  I am also quite unimpressed with the other two selections recommended to me by this owner.  Side note, I'm not going to bother with this store anymore.  I'll stick to our buddies at the Canopy in Brighton from now on.  Not to say that this is bad, quite contrary, it is pretty good.  Just it isn't anything special and the price tag is too much for what it delivers.
