Didn't you blog about this a while back, Buckskins? Or is it that you just now bought and sampled it for yourself?
I've never been much of a Canadian whisky fan, having been on a nearly 30-year single-malt jag since "discovering" them when I was stationed in Ol Blighty back in the early 80s. As the saying goes... "So many whiskeys, so little time..." That's especially true since I only indulge in a sipping manner. A bottle of whisky lasts me for WELL over a month.
But... the next time I go to a well-stocked bar... ;-)
Buck, I mentioned it briefly in a post about riding in the mountains, (althought it wasn't the whiskey on that trip, just unashamed advertising for the new taste I had found). I tasted it for the first time a few weeks ago, and bought my first bottle last night.
This is the first whiskey I have found that doesn't burn even a little when taken straight.
Daphne, glad to hear I'm not the only with that thinks Crown is overrated. I've never been a fan. I drank George Dickel Tennessee whiskey before this, but I'm a changed man.

I've seen this, loved the label and bottle and didn't think to try it - I'm a whisky fan - but now I will.

Crown Royal is swill.
I love a small, handcrafted bourbon batch myself, since I'm a neat two finger gal.
Small labels make a better product every day of the week, kind of like the independent beer breweries.
An old friend of mine makes a better home brewed version of Negro Modello than the company could ever imagine smoothing into production.

Love the label
Just so happens I'm sippin on a couple of fingers of JD as we speak.
I'll have to give Pendleton a twirl.
