Spicebox Canadian Spiced Whisky

FLAVOR: Artificial Vanilla Artificially Sweet Dried Spices Fig or Dried Plum Lavender NOSE: Easy Light Artificial Sweetener COLOR: Golden EXPERIENCE: A very approachable entry, immediately revealing artificial vanilla and sweeteners. It's easy to drink with a quick finish, disappearing from the palate fast. Deeper exploration uncovers notes of dried spices and dried fig or plum. I strongly endorse this rye, not for sipping neat, but it's excellent in cocktails to boost sweetness without adding complexity. At 35% ABV, it's a great starter bottle for newcomers to spirits or for those simply seeking intoxication due to its simple profile.

Sweet and spicy, yet remarkably smooth. The flavor profile isn't intricate, but I suspect that wasn't the intention. For me, the taste vanishes quite rapidly and doesn't linger. It offers great value at approximately $30 after tax in BC for a 750mL bottle. It's worth noting that the Canadian domestic version is bottled at 35% ABV, meaning it technically no longer qualifies as Canadian whisky under the 40% ABV rule. Nevertheless, I found it enjoyable. I would certainly recommend it.

Hard to find better for the cost. It's smooth on its own and pairs wonderfully with cola and ginger ale.

Pleasant, but excessively sweet and vanilla-forward for direct consumption. Excellent for mixed drinks or baking.

It has a flavor reminiscent of cream soda with vanilla. This is my go-to whisky.

A wonderful dessert spirit. I imagine it would be excellent with pecan pie.
