Sortilège Prestige 7 Year Old Maple Syrup Whisky Liqueur

Sortilège Prestige is a Quebec liqueur that marries seven-year-old Canadian whisky with pure first-run Quebec maple syrup. The producer selects whisky aged for more than seven years in oak barrels and blends it with maple syrup from the first run of the season, the extra-clear top grade. It is bottled at 40.9% ABV in a 750ml bottle, noticeably stronger than most whisky liqueurs. It is sweet without being cloying, with true maple flavour held in balance by the strength of the whisky. The Sortilège recipe is traced by the brand to the settlers of New France, who began combining their whisky with maple syrup.

Tasting Notes: Maple syrup sweetness balanced by oak-aged Canadian whisky.

Serve: Neat or over ice; the producer also mixes it with brandy and apple juice over ice in its Maple Apple cocktail.
