Forty Creek Cinnamon Bun Cream Review

Natalie's Score: 94/100

Forty Creek Cinnamon Bun Cream is a decadent, velvety liqueur bursting with notes of warm cinnamon, brown sugar icing, toasted pecans, and a creamy vanilla finish that wraps around your tongue like a cashmere throw. It is sweet, rich, and full-bodied. Serve it over ice when you want dessert in a glass, minus the fork. This crowd-pleaser is indulgent yet approachable, like the friend who brings homemade cinnamon rolls to brunch and offers to do the dishes. I give it 94 points for nailing the fine line between whimsy and wow. From the award-winning Forty Creek distillery in Niagara, this cream liqueur is crafted with fresh dairy cream and Ontario whisky, capturing all the cozy comfort of a freshly baked cinnamon bun. Bill Ashburn, Forty Creek’s Master Blender, is known for daring flavour innovations and has earned the title of Canadian Distiller of the Year multiple times at the Canadian Whisky Awards. This liqueur is his playful nod to nostalgic comfort foods. It is perfect poured over warm sticky toffee pudding, drizzled on weekend waffles, or in an espresso martini, traditionally topped with three coffee beans representing wealth, health, and happiness. I would also pair it with warm apple crisp topped with vanilla bean ice cream or a spiced pumpkin cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, where each forkful crumbles perfectly into creamy indulgence. Of course, classic cinnamon buns make for the ultimate plate-to-glass connection. It is basically autumn in liquid form, and as a fun fact, October 4th is National Cinnamon Bun Day. Official permission is not required, but I wholeheartedly support it.
