Description
The Pike Creek 10 Years Old Canadian Whisky is an excellent, handcrafted whisky that perfectly captures the essence of Canadian whisky tradition. Produced in Windsor, Ontario, this whisky is matured for at least 10 years in ex-bourbon and rum casks, giving it its characteristic complexity and depth. With an alcohol content of 42% vol., it offers a harmonious balance of sweet, spicy and fruity notes – ideal for connoisseurs of multi-layered, matured whiskies.
The maturation takes place in a warehouse without temperature control, which means that the extreme Canadian weather conditions – hot summers and freezing cold winters – have a strong influence on the whisky. The wood in the barrels actively works with the spirit during the temperature changes, resulting in a particularly soft yet intense flavour profile.
Tasting NoteColour: Deep gold with amber reflections.
Nose: Warm vanilla and caramel notes, accompanied by maple syrup, roasted nuts and a fine spice of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Flavour: Full-bodied and smooth with a wonderful balance between sweet toffee, dried fruit and a pleasant oak spice. The rum cask ageing brings out subtle notes of brown sugar and tropical fruit.
Finish: Medium to long, smooth and harmonious with lingering notes of oak, vanilla and a hint of spice.
The Pike Creek 10 Years Old is ideal for drinking neat at room temperature to fully savour the complex flavours. Alternatively, it can be served with a drop of water or on a large ice cube to emphasise the gentle sweetness even more.
It also cuts an excellent figure as a base for fine whisky cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Whisky Sour or a classic Manhattan.
In culinary terms, this Canadian whisky goes perfectly with dark chocolate, roasted pecan nuts or a spicy steak. Its sweet and spicy notes also harmonise perfectly with strong blue cheese or maple syrup-enhanced desserts.
The Pike Creek 10 Years Old Canadian Whisky is an excellent choice for lovers of matured whiskies with a special cask finish – a Canadian delight with depth and character.
