🥃🥃 Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Rich amber to dark honey with polished golden highlights and excellent clarity.
Aroma:
Smooth and inviting, opening with vanilla, maple, and caramel followed by honeyed sweetness and fresh citrus. Additional time in the glass reveals orange peel, delicate fruit, subtle coconut, cedar, and gentle baking spice.
Palate:
Creamy, smooth, and beautifully approachable:
Vanilla provides a soft and creamy foundation
Caramel and maple contribute rich Canadian whisky sweetness
Honey adds additional depth and roundness
Peach and orchard fruit introduce a bright fruit component
Citrus peel provides freshness and balance
Cinnamon and clove develop through the mid-palate
Nutmeg and gentle pepper add warming spice
Subtle oak and cedar provide structure without overwhelming the whisky
The 80 Proof bottling maintains an exceptionally smooth and approachable mouthfeel
Single-barrel selection gives each bottling its own subtle personality
Finish:
Smooth and lingering, with vanilla, maple, honey, cinnamon, clove, and gentle oak gradually fading into a pleasantly warm and lightly spiced conclusion.

Description
Caribou Crossing Single Barrel Canadian Whisky (750mL) — The World's First Single Barrel Canadian Whisky
Discover a pioneering expression of Canadian whisky with Caribou Crossing Single Barrel Canadian Whisky, an elegant and exceptionally smooth release created to showcase the individuality and character that can be achieved through single-barrel selection. Produced by Sazerac, Caribou Crossing holds the distinction of being recognized as the world's first single-barrel Canadian whisky, helping redefine expectations for the category.
Rather than blending numerous barrels together to create a uniform flavor profile, each Caribou Crossing bottling comes from an individually selected barrel chosen from an extensive collection of approximately 200,000 barrels of Canadian whisky. Because every barrel develops differently during maturation, subtle variations can occur from bottle to bottle—giving enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the individuality that makes single-barrel whisky so compelling.
Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Caribou Crossing offers a remarkably approachable combination of creamy vanilla, maple sweetness, caramel, honeyed fruit, citrus, and warming baking spice. Its elegant presentation, complete with the distinctive caribou imagery and decorative maple-leaf stopper, makes it equally appealing as a sipping whisky, premium gift, or addition to a Canadian whisky collection.
