Forty Creek Copper Bold Whisky Review

Natalie's Score: 94/100

In 1972, the Forty Creek distillery opened and more recently, was named Whisky Maker of the Decade at the Canadian Whisky Awards. The Forty Creek Copper Bold has intense toffee aromas like a bourbon, but with spicy rye notes. This whisky gets educated through extended barrel aging, creating incredible complexity. Did you know that Canadian whisky must be aged for at least three years in wooden barrels? Forty Creek takes this much further with their special aging process, creating their distinctive smooth yet complex profile. I'd pair this with maple-glazed bacon where thick-cut artisanal bacon is slowly baked with pure Canadian maple syrup and a touch of bourbon until it achieves that perfect balance of sweet, salty, smoky, and crisp – an irresistible accompaniment to this premium whisky.
