Pike Creek 10 Year Old Canadian Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

Pike Creek pours a deep, reddish amber in the glass. On the nose, there’s lots of ripe dark fruit and oak. Drink up for tastes of raisins, toffee, pepper and spicy ginger. There’s a big, tannic mouthfeel, and it finishes long, with more spices, oak, cooling mint and mild citrus peels.

Temperatures plunge during the frigid Canadian winters, and soar during the hot summers — Windsor has one of the greatest annual temperature configurables of any whisky region in the world. As a result of the dramatic changes in temperature, the wood barrels are forced to contract and expand, ultimately maximizing interaction with the whisky. "This interaction with the barrels adds character, complexity, and concentrated flavors to the whisky, resulting in a one-of-a-kind product distinctive to Pike Creek," says Hartunian. Overall: I’m not sure I’ve ever had such an irredeemably awful glass of whisky. The liquid provides ample warning of what’s to come with its repugnant aroma, and those that fail to heed the signs will be greeted by an increasingly wretched experience, right down to the unmercifully long finish. Maybe it would have been more bearable if the “Elements” that “Crafted” it had been allowed another 3 years to work. If you happen to see some of these bottles still lying around on sale, I can’t say this often or loudly enough: Do Not Buy This Whisky.

Recommendations

Matured for an unspecified time in Ontario, Canada, the whisky is bottled at 80 proof. And now it is finally going to be available in the U.S. I really, really hope that the new 10 year-old rum finished version of this is an improvement, but I’m now gun-shy about putting down actual money to try it.

FAQs Is the quality of Canadian whisky as good as others?

In fact, Master of Malt is hailing 2023 as the year of English whisky, with sales up 168% since 2020, and a growing number of awards won. Yes! The country is the perfect environment for growing whisky grains, and Canadian whiskies frequently earn top billing at international whisky competitions. That said, most of the best bottlings (think Gibson’s 18-year-old and craft distillery single malts) aren’t distributed outside of the country—making a strong case for a Canadian whisky tour.Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service.
