It is almost almost ten years since Campari assumed the reigns of the Forty Creek Whisky brand, and I notice that some changes have taken place. Now Bill Ashburn is Forty Creek’s Master Blender (although is is very likely that Bill has had his hand in most of the Forty Creek whiskies since the beginning). Forty Creek has shifted the branding of its whisky adding the term Niagara Whisky to their labels attaching themselves firmly to the Niagara Peninsula and Canada’s largest wine region. New bottles have been introduced; and, for many of their whisky brands, lower prices as well.
The flagship brand is still Forty Creek Barrel Select, and the website still promotes this whisky as a blend of separately aged grain whiskies (corn, barley, and rye). However, whereas the distillery once promoted this spirit as having a wine barrel finish. This tidbit of information is now absent from Whisky’s description on the the shop website (maybe I missed it). I thought it was about time I revisited the whisky, and wrote a new review based on the new bottle and the liquid inside.
He is a link to my new review completely revised review:

El Tesoro is a premium tequila brand produced by Tequila Tapatio, S.A. de C.V. who make their teuila at the La Alteña Distillery. La Alteña was founded in 1937 by Don Felipe Camarena and is located near the town of Arandas in the Jalisco (Los Altos Southern) Highlands.
A way back in September of 2010, I was invited to join a local rum club called The First Chapter of the Edmonton Rum Chums. The purpose of the club was to have a group of like minded individuals get together about once a month exploring the wide diversity within the world of rum. I have to admit that I was not prepared for what I was to happen at that first meeting, for it was at that gathering that I had my first taste of Big Black Dick! The Dark Rum that originated on the Cayman Islands of course.
