Bouquet
At 80 proof (40% abv), Collingwood Select offers a gentle, sweet nose reminiscent of fresh baked scones, vanilla, warm caramel sauce and a hint of grain. There is no whiff of alcohol burn as is common in so many whiskies. Instead, Collingwood tantalizes the olfactory senses and makes the mouth water in anticipation of a great Canadian whisky.
Body and Palate
Few whiskies can be realistically categorized as silky, but Collingwood wraps itself around the palate and offer a delightful and unique flavor profile due to the Maplewood mellowing process unique to this whisky. Gentle grain notes appear, along with orange marmalade, tea spice, cinnamon, confectioners sugar and a subtle maple note. The Maplewood is well integrated into this whisky, and rather than being a marketing gimmick, it plays an integral role in helping this whisky become a contender for best in class.
Finish
Collingwood has a medium length finish, with fruit notes and cereal grains predominant. Cedar shingle, black tea and tobacco notes also gracefully appear before gently lifting off of the palate.
At a suggested retail price of $25.99, Collingwood offers a smooth, sophisticated and exceptionally pleasing whisky that is sure to delight any Canadian whisky enthusiast. It is a better Canadian whisky than many Canadian whiskies at twice its price, so in addition to being a great whisky, its also a great value.
