<p>An interesting Caribbean twist to Canadian Rye Whiskey.</p><p>Founder <em>Don Livermore</em> has PhD in <em>Wood Science. </em>Since Whiskey gets most of it flavor from the wood it ages in, that’s really saying something, right? Pike Creek is a Canadian company making classic Canadian-style Whiskey — which means <em>high-rye.</em> But what sets Pike Creek apart is that that they age their Whiskey in the temperamental climate of <em>Ontario, Canada</em> — just west of Detroit, <em>Michigan</em>. The warehouse has no climate control, so the barrels expand and contract far more than most in the hot, humid summers and cold, dry Winters.</p><p><em>Pike Creek 10 Year Old Rum Barrel Finished Canadian Whisky</em>… the name alone has just about all the information that you need to know. This is a ten year old, Canadian-style Rye Whiskey that has spent the last several months of tis aging in<em> ex-Rum casks</em>. This is a recent change for Pike Creek. The first version of their signature spirit was finished in Port casks. The change brings a bit more sweetness and lets the Whiskey have more of a savory richness. In <em>2022</em>, it won <em>Double Gold</em> at the prestigious <em>San Francisco World Spirits Competition.</em> </p>
