Forty Creek Barrel Select Canadian Whisky 1.75L

Forty Creek Barrel Select Canadian Whisky 1.75L is the blend that launched Forty Creek’s whisky range. Released originally in 2000, it combines grain whiskies made from rye, barley, and corn that are aged individually before blending. Seasoned ex-bourbon barrels and new American white oak shape the full flavor profile. This large-format bottle is offered at 40% ABV / 80 proof.

The producer describes a warm gold appearance and aromas of honey, vanilla, orange peel, and apricot, layered with toasted oak, black walnut, and spice. The palate is robust and complex, bringing vanilla, honey, a hint of rye spice, cocoa, and toasted earthiness into a smooth, lingering finish. Its tall 1.75-liter bottle carries the current Niagara Whisky label, navy screw cap, and Barrel Select band, with the volume and strength printed together near the base of the label. Forty Creek recommends serving Barrel Select neat or over ice, while noting that it is versatile enough for mixed drinks and cocktails.
