Forty Creek introduces the 'Maplewood Select,' its 18th annual limited-edition whisky release, showcasing the brand's ongoing dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. This small-batch whisky is crafted from a carefully selected blend of corn and rye whiskies, finished with Maplewood to enhance and bring out its natural flavors.
The whisky presents a well-balanced flavor profile, combining "the spicy and fruity notes of rye with the smooth sweetness of corn while deep golden amber hue, reminiscent of autumn maple leaves, reflects the essence of the fall season, both in appearance and taste."
Master Blender Bill Ashburn remarked, “With a rich, bold profile, Maplewood Select offers an unparalleled tasting experience that highlights Forty Creek’s commitment to innovation.” This release further solidifies Forty Creek's reputation as a leader in the whisky industry, offering a unique and refined product for whisky enthusiasts.
