Caribou Crossing holds the distinction of being the world's first single barrel Canadian whisky — a bold departure from the blended style that has long defined the category. Crafted from a master collection of over 200,000 barrels by the Sazerac Company, each release is hand-selected to showcase the unique character that a single barrel can deliver.
At 40% ABV, the nose offers light caramel and toasted oak accented by citrus zest, vanilla, and a touch of honey. The palate is smooth and inviting, with flavours of vanilla, toasted marshmallow, crème brûlée, and soft stone fruit, underscored by gentle rye spice and a light oak framework. The finish is surprisingly long for its gentle weight, with sweet vanilla and oak lingering warmly.
An excellent choice for those looking to explore Canadian whisky beyond the blended mainstream, Caribou Crossing is refined, approachable, and quietly impressive.
