Tawse Whisky

Produced by Tawse Winery in Vineland, Ontario, Tawse Canadian Whisky is a grain-based Canadian whisky finished in the winery’s own Pinot Noir barrels. The whisky begins with a blend of Canadian grains matured for three years in American oak before spending approximately 15 additional months in Pinot Noir casks. This extended wine-cask finish adds depth to the spirit’s naturally approachable character, bringing together toasted oak, vanilla, spiced orchard fruit and rich dessert-like sweetness. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

Food Pairing: Apple tart, crème brûlée, roasted pork, mild aged cheeses, toasted nuts, or vanilla and caramel-based desserts.

Tasting Notes: Smooth and gently sweet, balancing toasted oak and vanilla with spiced orchard fruit, creamy dessert notes and subtle wine-cask influence.

Nose: Inviting aromas of toasted oak, French vanilla and spiced apple, with gentle grain sweetness and subtle fruit developing underneath.

Palate: Smooth and rounded, showing crème brûlée and ripe pear alongside vanilla, caramelized sweetness and soft oak.

Finish: Gentle and warming, with lingering vanilla, toasted oak, orchard fruit and subtle Pinot Noir cask character.

Serve: Enjoy neat, over ice, or in a whisky-forward cocktail; its soft sweetness and fruit character also make it suitable alongside desserts.
