Comments on: Tasting Notes: Innis & Gunn Canadian Cask http://www.blogobeer.com/2009/06/26/tasting-notes-innis-gunn-canadian-cask/ A beer blog by a bunch of blokes who enjoy blogging about beer Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:06:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ed Ashby http://www.blogobeer.com/2009/06/26/tasting-notes-innis-gunn-canadian-cask/comment-page-1/#comment-791 Ed Ashby Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:44:26 +0000 http://www.blogobeer.com/?p=1726#comment-791 I was in The Vineyard at the weekend and they just happened to have a few bottles of this, so of course I had to get one. The familiar oaky vanilla aroma is still there, embellished with some sweet whisky notes. It doesn't say anywhere what whisky was originally in the casks, or if the casks contained anything before the whisky. The whisky element doesn't dominate the flavour and I'm still wondering if maybe the casks originally contained sherry, as the taste reminded of me a bit of sherry-cask aged whisky.

There's a faint spiciness there as well - ginger or maybe nutmeg - that adds pleasant tang to the lingering bourbon after-taste." Sounds like everything I dislike in a beer.
