"After resting for 12 years in the barrel, Gibson’s Finest Canadian Whisky has reached its point of ideal balance. It has been determined that 12 years of aging is required to bring together the right mix of flavor, aroma and finish characteristic only to Gibson’s Finest. Precise blending of the well-aged deep and mellow corn base whisky with the bold, spicy rye and malt whiskies brings together an ideal symphony of taste experiences. From the selection of grains and fermentation conditions, to craftsmanship and diversity in distillation, through to expertise in aging and blending, every step in the crafting of Gibson’s Finest supports the superior taste of the finished whisky."

"Amber color with an olive cast. Aromas of buttered roasted nuts and caramel taffy aromas follow though on a soft, creamy entry to a off-dry medium body with dried cherry and spice notes in the lingering charcoal and leather accented finish. A solid sipper."

"The delightful aroma features scents of spice, dried banana, cinnamon/nutmeg; ginger, egg cream, and a hint of honey. The palate entry offers a zesty, spirity warmth; by midpalate the pleasing tingle is replaced by round tastes of honey coated cereal, sweet oak, and candied almond. Finishes elegantly, smoldering warm, and resiny bittersweet. A world-class malt whisky." 90-95 pts.

Forty Creek Double Barrel has a wonderful golden roasted aroma filled with deep vanilla notes and highlighted with toasted spice, pecan and walnuts. There is a caramelized creaminess to the flavour with a rich spice that lifts it off the tongue. The finish is very smooth, mellow and extra long.
