TASTING NOTE: The coming of spring brings in the year's first harvest: maple syrup. Sugar shacks will be opening and the sap running this March. Bring the fun home with a bottle of Sortilege Prestige, a uniquely Canadian blend of 100 per cent rye whisky aged seven years in white oak barrels mixed with first run Quebec maple syrup (category one, extra clear, considered the finest). From Maison des Futailles, it's sweet, but not too, with true maple syrup flavours balanced by good whisky power throughout. Score - 91 (Margaret Swaine, winealign.com, March 11, 2013) |
