Craig Haynes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Whisky writers have reported that the Fine De Luxe is the best-selling Canadian whisky for several years running, far exceeding the sales of the Canadian whisky holding down the second spot. But take note of this fact > the FDL is a blend of over 50 different whiskies, according to the company.

I do enjoy a whisky cocktail. Recently, I made an Old Fashioned with the FDL, but I had some neat before-hand to write this review.

The experience was appealing and approachable, like a world of sweet caramel, sweet butterscotch, sweet vanilla, and lightly smoked cloves. All sunk nicely into my tongue, a long finish in other words. The mouth feel was satisfying. Round, silky, with low heat. Hand me a cocktail glass, please.

ICYMI. To be classified as Canadian whisky, the liquid must be mashed, distilled, and aged in Canada in wooden barrels for at least three years.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
