Howitzer Canadian Whisky

Howitzer’s aromatic nose shows toffee, caramel, mild wood, a flash of gunpowder and hints of oranges. Bold, sweet and peppery on the palate, with creamy toffee. Lovely bitter pith early on turns spicy, along with more sweetness and something almost citrus. A medium glowing finish fades back into cleansing bitter pith. Not overly complex. A good solid classic Canadian whisky with a bit of oomph.

A rich, fruity nose with hints of grape skins jumps right out of the bottle when you pull the cork for the first time. This is single malt whisky and just loaded with undisguised barley malt notes. Then finally, after a few sniffs those luscious Vancouver Island blackberries surge to the fore. Do yourself a double barrel favour and get one today.

Stillhead Rye Whisky – Small Cask Finish

Even before we sip, the massive nose on this expressive dram tells us that Canada is once again expanding the flavour profile of rye whisky in ever so delicious directions. Sweet mashy notes evolve into roasted grain, light rye bread and mild herbal tones. Hints of mint early on disappear in hard taffy, berries, and then strong sweet fruits, eventually resolving into over-ripe verbena fruit. All works well together, and that’s just the nose.
