Canada ~ 49% ~ $115
You’re overmatched with 3 kids but 11 is just ridiculous. The heartwarming namesakes of this Canadian whisky are the 11 children orphaned at sea who Gooderham adopted at the completion of his family’s 1832 transatlantic migration from England. A marriage of 11 different casks from seven unique grains, three still types, and three barrel origins means this one’s got everything but the kitchen sink. These absurd details, as well as the advanced age of the spirits, lend a depth not often found in blends from the North.
