SORTILÈGE |
| Medium ambering orange colour. Very sweet, spicy, honeyed, maple syrup nose. with some faintly peppery plummy-caramel notes. Sweet, medium-full bodied, viscous, smooth, intense, somewhat peppery, maple-syrup flavours with a lingering, cedary, vanilla-stick-tinged finish. This blend of 100% rye whisky aged seven years in white oak barrels and first-run Quebec maple syrup has 40.9% alcohol with a new lot number L170907 on the lower part of the glass bottle. This REPEAT is not quite up to when it last appeared in Vintages (***) on November 28, 2015 at $49.95 and was an Explorer Selection. |

| 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 of100 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) |
