Introduction:
The Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve is a whisky that represents the rebirth of Canadian whisky, showcasing the unique flavour profile and craftsmanship that define Forty Creek. What makes this expression truly stand out is the use of Canadian oak barrels for aging, adding a distinct element to the whisky. After blending three individually aged grain whiskies, Master Blender Bill Ashburn ages the final product in these Canadian oak barrels, which impart additional depth and complexity to the spirit.
