Found North Batch 012 16year Canadian Whiskey 750ml

Batch 12 from Found North is a blend* of 11 different whiskey components aged from 16-22 years and bottled without chill at a cask strength of 128.2 proof. According to the producers, the backbone of Batch 12 is a corn component aged for 16 years in heavily toasted, char #2 barrels which were "a treasure" that provided "smoldering toasted notes" which the team built around. On the nose there are aromas of French Vanilla ice cream with toasted nuts, toasted marshmallow, brown sugar, tobacco, and burnt orange. The palate begins with wood and spice followed by waves of thick molasses, sugar wafer, maraschino cherry, leather, and earthy charred oak. The finish lingers and evolves with notes of espresso, cinnamon, toasted oak, and baking spice.

*Derived mash bill is 86% corn, 13% rye, and 1% malted barley
