Forty Creek Barrel Select Whisky
The bottle is nearly done, and I quickly need to capture the tasting notes for this Forty Creek Barrel Select Canadian whisky. I bought it in Canada during my July trip, and there is barely enough left for a tasting.
Rating: Excellent
Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whiskies that I rated as Excellent. Excellent means that after tasting the whisky, I want to pour a second and third glass. It is whisky that I want to keep on drinking and when the bottle is finished, I will buy another one. Rating: Excellent

Kavalan King Car Conductor Whisky
This week I am tasting the Kavalan King Car Conductor single malt whisky from Taiwan. Back in 2009, when I started collecting whisky, it was only possible to find whiskies from the more traditional whisky-making countries like Ireland, USA and Canada.
