Nun, wie gut ist dieser Canadian wirklich?? Ich empfinde ihn als ganz fantastisch und wer mag kann meine Meinung unter "Smilodon" auf Amazon gerne nachlesen. Er ist kein konzentrierter Whisky aus besonderen Fässern sondern verkörpert eine Frische im Geschmack, wie sie noch kein Whisky der Welt je hatte! Weich aber frisch; das scheinbare Paradoxon ist mit ihm geknackt! Jim Murray hat recht!
