Tasting Notes
Appearance
In the glass, Benjamin Chapman 7 Year Whisky emanates a radiant golden amber hue, signaling its complex aging journey.
Nose
The aromatic profile is a harmonious symphony of candied fruits, apricots, and a delicate presence of toffee and vanilla. A background of subtle rye spiciness and oak adds layers of depth, making for an inviting nose.
Palate
Upon sipping, the palate is greeted by the richness of buttery caramel and stewed orchard fruits, primarily apple and pear. This mellows into a heart of seasoned oak and a rye-driven spiciness that is distinctive of Canadian blended whiskies. The moderate ABV of 45% ensures that the flavors are bold yet balanced, allowing the whisky to express its intricate palate without overwhelming.
Finish
The finish is enduring and elegantly smooth, characterized by lingering notes of vanilla, caramel, and a closing remark of rye spice. The balance achieved is noteworthy, rounding off the experience in a manner that compels the next sip.
Pairing Suggestions
While versatile enough to be savored neat, its balanced character also makes it a prime candidate for whisky-based cocktails, from classics like the Old Fashioned to more modern concoctions. Adding a splash of water or a single ice cube can further open up the flavors, offering yet another layer of complexity to explore.
In summary, Benjamin Chapman 7 Year Whisky available at Third Base Market & Spirits is an eloquent statement in the realm of blended Canadian whiskies. Its 7-year age statement, while seemingly modest, is a misleading indicator of the wealth of flavors and depth this whisky brings to the table. Perfect for both newcomers and seasoned whisky drinkers, it epitomizes the subtleties that make Canadian whisky a category unto itself.
