Tasting note

The whisky has a crisp and smooth delivery. Rye and light oak spices lead out in front.

Firm and dry with the accent on a grain-oak bite, Hood River has an immediate grain pinch, then a delicious mouth-watering crescendo. The sweetness is controlled and regulated by spice. Corn oils and building oak make for an excellent bitter-sweet finale of some length and style. Here the surprisingly complex and sensual grains will surprise those who affectionately remember Canadian Club from 20-30 years ago. 91.5 pts Whisky Bible
