Forty Creek Barrel Select Whiskey is distilled in small batches in out traditional copper pot still and patiently aged in white oak barrels hand-picked for their unique characteristics. A careful selection of light, medium and heavey char barrels create a richness and toasted earthiness in the spirit. Vintage sherry casks are chosen to impart a subtle complexity to the whiskey. This unique barrel selection process results in a whiskey where aromas of honey, vanilla and apricot fuse with toasty oak, black walnut and spice. The flavor is rich and bold on the palate and is completed in a smooth, long finish.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
Barrel Select is a soft, silky, somewhat feminine whiskey when compared to bourbon, with gently sweet notes of creamy vanilla, honeyed apricot, toasted nuts, and gentle background tropical fruit and spice. A whisky that really transcends category and definition.
Rich maple goodness on the nose and palate to the degree you might be tempted to add this to your weekend breakfast; a pleasant and approachable Canadian, just ready to say "Hello!"
There is a fruity aroma from the sherry casks, but it isn't overwhelming. Spices such as cinnamon, orange spice, and ginger come across along with caramel and cooked apples. The whisky is bright and spicy …
A soft and well-balanced dram with some nice chocolate orange notes, fleshy peach fruit, brown sugar and toffee and a clean and finessed finish.
Buttery aromas of caramel and molasses with rich black pepper and a hint of salinity on the palate; finishes with a beautifully balanced, lingering warmth.
Spice, coffee and sherry notes on the nose and palate, underlying tropical notes with a hot finish.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
