Gooderham & Worts celebrates the history behind a Toronto grist mill and distillery which first produced whisky in 1837. It closed in 1990, but at its height was producing over 2 million liters of whisky a year, which at the time was half the production in the whole of Canada. This whisky was first released in the late 90’s as part of the failed Canadian Whisky Guild Series along with Lot 40 and Pike Creek. It’s back! This bottling was distilled by Corby Distillers and production was overseen by Dr. Don Livermore. The four grains blended are corn, wheat, rye, and barley. It is bottled at 44.4% abv.
Gooderham & Worts Four Grain Canadian Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: Poised spices are discreet but big enough to direct vanilla, dusty straw and crisp dry grains from over acting. This is before even taking sip.
Palate: The flavors blend with a sturdy wood framework seamlessly held together without nails.
Finish: Freshly baked bread and cereals lead into a complex finish that lights up the mouth with just a shade of tannins.
Distillery Information
Gooderham and Worts, also known as Gooderham & Worts Limited, was a Canadian distiller of alcoholic beverages. It was once the largest distiller in Canada. The company was merged in 1926 with Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd., and the merged firm was eventually sold to Allied Lyons in 1987. The company’s distillery facility on the Toronto waterfront was closed in the 1990s. The buildings, dating to the 1860s, were preserved and repurposed as an arts and entertainment district that is called the Distillery District.
