CARLETON TOWER

Legendary Canadian whiskey producer Hiram Walker’s premium expression from the 1940s through the 1970s was Carleton Tower Not only was it the best whiskey they produced but it came in the iconic contemporary bottle design that is a piece of art in itself when you consider the design is almost 80 years old The brand started in 1945, this is the second edition, but the first bottling that has the silver cap

Tasting notes from previous bottles are: On the nose we have furniture polish, sandalwood, rum-raisin, dark chocolate and black currant Some big wood smoke in there too, like a campfire Black cherries The palate is rather oily, as expected, with lots of Mackintosh toffee and vanilla Mild spices Raisins Honey and milk chocolate
