Detailed Description

Orphan Barrel Entrapment 25 year old Canadian Whisky, Distilled in 1992, Entrapment was originally due to be included in a batch of Crown Royal Deluxe,

Orphan Barrel is a Diageo-owned label that releases bottlings of “forgotten” whiskeys. Entrapment, a Canadian whisky, is the first non-American release from this brand.

The whiskey is described as “97% corn and 3% [malt]” and is the eleventh release in this particular Diageo line up. My sample came in a cute wooden book safe, complete with what seems to be a working compass.

Orphan Barrel Entrapment 25 Year Old Canadian Whiskey Tasting Notes

Vital stats: Canadian whisky, 97% corn/3% malt, aged 25 years, 41% ABV

Color: Pale copper

Nose: Butterscotch, faint spice, maple donut, confectioner’s sugar. Like other Canadian whiskies, this one mostly smells overwhelmingly sweet to me.

Palate: More butterscotch, syrup, and brown sugar, with a heavy dose of oak. There’s a flash of cherry cough syrup on the back of the palate, and the finish sits somewhere between bitter and medicinal. Texturally, it’s both light and faintly drying.

Distillery Information
