GIFTS WINNING SPIRITS
CANADIAN WORLD CHAMPIONS To be named the best in your country is a signal honour. To be judged against the best in the world and to win is even more amazing, generating the same burst of national pride we feel when a Canadian ath- lete wins an Olympic gold.
GOODERHAM & WORTS CANADIAN WHISKY LCBO 428417, $44.95 Corn, rye, barley and wheat all go into this complex, sophisticated spirit, a blazing star of the recent Canadian whisky revival. A tight braid of orangey fruit, floral notes and oaky spice jumps out of the glass, continuing to evolve in a luxuriously long aftertaste. LOT N O 40 LCBO 382861, $39.95 Its fanatical following among whisky lovers is well-deserved; this is fabulous rye! And only rye… The grain’s bold peppery cinnamon spiciness cradles hints of citrus and oak in a smooth, rich grip. Delicious neat, but there is no better whisky for a Manhattan. GEORGIAN BAY VODKA LCBO 446559, $39.95 Established by two ad agency part- ners, Georgian Bay Spirit Co. was only created in 2013. Its smooth, balanced vodka has real personality with notes of pine resin, citrus and the nutty, grainy sweetness of malted barley. Delicious at any temperature.
