Invitation Series No. 2 18-Year-Old High Proof
Maplewood Select 2024 marks the year of Forty Creek’s 18 th annual limited edition whisky, Maplewood Select. As the name implies, this highly collectible, special small batch whisky has been finished with maplewood to extract its unique natural flavours. Ripe berry, fresh corn, and white pepper aromas on the nose. The palate is infused with a unique flavouring derived from kiln-dried sugar maplewood. Smooth and lingering spice notes on the finish are rounded out with the flavour of sugar maplewood.
“The nose revels in a delightful bouquet of warm caramel and inviting butterscotch. On the palate, vibrant berries dance amidst a tapestry of luxurious spice, culminating in a long finish that reveals fresh citrus rind and toasted oak.”

161. Lot No. 40
159. Caribou Crossing Single Barrel
Cherry Wood Casks Staying true to Lot No. 40’s style, this whisky underwent initial aging in new white oak casks and later acquired depth through finishing in European cherry wood. The cherry wood introduces an exceptional layer of complexity to this bold whisky, bringing notes of chocolate, cherry pits, and vanilla almond cream, perfectly complementing the peppery rye grains.
“Elegant on the nose, with hints of caramel, waxy orange peel, peppermint, and shaved coconut. Delightfully smooth and perfectly structured, with orchard fruits drizzled in honey followed by clove and allspice on a long, mellow finish. A bonafide classic whisky that’s perfect for sipping.”
