Wayne Gretzky No. 99 ‘Red Cask’ Canadian Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: This whisky has a distinct bouquet like when you open a new box of skates.
Palate: It’s a blend of leather, fabric solvents and lace. Rum-like brown sugar skillfully deke into the palate where it’s a hat-trick of sandalwood, caramel, and sweet spices.
Finish: The superb rich flavors glide to a gentle finish with just a splash of citrus assisted by grape tannins.
