I wonder how that stuff actually tastes to have won World Whisky of the year, especially as a blend. I have a terrible case of Asian flush syndrome (lack of digestive enzymes for alcohol) and I find almost anything but well aged single malts will turn my skin beet red, my entire body itchy, and give me a suicidal migraine (true story). I'm guessing the cask aging is slowly taking out impurities that make the condition worse.

Has anyone here tried Northern Harvest?
I had a sample at craft cellars on 32 ave ne last weekend. It was my first time in there and I was pretty impressed. They also said they'll be increasing the selection of products you can sample significantly. Hopefully that will include some of the higher end stuff.

I actually didn't care for northern harvest so I picked up a few other bottles instead. My personal favourite for Canadian rye whisky is Dark Horse.
