This wasn’t the 1st, 2nd or even my 3rd time sampling this particular whisky.  However it was an exceedingly apt way to kick start our Whisky Ladies evening exploring whiskies with a Northern Lights connect.

As soon as the bottle came out, a fellow Canadian couldn’t help but recall her youthful follies with a quintessential Canadian drink – Rye and Ginger aka ginger ale.

Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye 40%

• Nose – Maple, very sweet, light rye yet accessible, sparkling cider, juicy fruit gum
• Palate – Ginger, sweet, bit spicy then  back to sweet
• Finish – Short, sweet, light wood

It made us think of making a terrific Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

Whisky Ladies Northern Lights:

• Flóki Single Malt 47%
• Mackmyra Mack 40%
• Shelter Point’s Barrel of Sunshine 30%
