Forty Creek Launches Cherrywood Reserve, Made and Inspired By Local Fruits from the Niagara Region

Forty Creek, the award-winning Canadian whisky brand, announces the launch of its 2023 Limited Release, Cherrywood Reserve, a distinctly Niagara whisky with cherry aromas and a kiss of brandy.

Cherrywood Reserve pays homage to the Niagara Region by crafting an exquisite whisky steeped in cherry wood from one of Ontario’s most treasured fruit belts, bringing out a wonderfully unexpected character and flavour.

Cherrywood Reserve is a 5-year-old pot distilled whisky made with malted barley, rye and corn, and a hint of aged brandy.

Winner of a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Forty Creek’s Cherrywood Reserve is the newest creation from Forty Creek’s Master Blender, Bill Ashburn.

To celebrate this release, the Forty Creek Distillery in Grimsby, ON, welcomes whisky lovers to their annual Whisky Weekend on September 23-24, 2023, to be one of the first to taste Cherrywood Reserve.

Cherrywood Reserve displays tastes of vanilla, honeyed stone-fruit, dark chocolate, and cherry aromas with hints of spice and brown sugar. 

Forty Creek Cherrywood Reserve is now available for sale in select provinces across Canada and on fortycreekwhisky.com, retailing for $89.95. 

At Forty Creek’s Whisky Weekend, attendees can explore the recently unveiled Visitor’s Centre, tour the distillery, listen to live music, and participate in engaging whisky and cocktail seminars led by Master Blender Bill Ashburn, Forty Creek Brand Ambassador Chris Thompson and Yellowknife-based Campari Academy Mixologist Skye Plowman.
