Seagram's V.O. Canadian Whisky (70cl, 40%)

Seagram's V.O. is a Canadian blended whisky, bottled at 40% in a 70cl bottle. It is made from whiskies that spent at least six years in oak, and the letters V.O. stand for 'very own', meaning the maker's own blend. It shows the mildness typical of Canadian whisky and is often drunk over ice in Canada and the USA. The nose opens slowly with mild rye notes and a touch of vanilla. The palate has a light sweetness, a mild body and pronounced oak. The finish is very soft and warming, with fine wood notes.
