But there are single cask bourbons like Blanton's that are just remarkable, and well worth seeking out. Actually, for any Canadians on this list, there is a Canadian whiskey that is made through a process combining that of bourbons (which are aged in new oak for big vanilla notes) and some single malt scotches (like The Macallan) which are aged in sherry barrels. This is called Forty Creek Barrel Select. Unlike most Canadian whiskies, it is not cut with neutral spirits but is a blend of 12 year old whiskies aged in new oak or old sherry barrels . It not only is a first-rate tipple, but an incredible bargain, compared to the prices of things like Blanton's or The Macallan.
