GOODERHAM & WORTS 17 YEAR OLD LITTLE TRINITY LTD RELEASE CANADIAN WHISKY

Detailed DescriptionClose to the former Gooderham & Worts distillery is the Little Trinity Anglican Church. William Gooderham built the church in 1843 so his staff wouldn’t have to pay pew fees elsewhere – a cash grab common at the time. This 17-year-old whisky celebrates Gooderham’s selflessness with a trinity blend of corn, rye and wheat whiskies. Each composed from a variety of distilling skills and barrel types. It’s part of the 2017 Northern Borders Rare Collection. Limited availability in Canada with a very limited allocation in Europe and the US.Gooderham & Worts 17 Year Old Little Trinity Ltd Release Canadian Whisky Tasting NotesNose: Delightful aroma.Palate: This dazzling sipper has a touch of malty rye bread, warm rye spices, vanilla, dried fruit and dusty oak that shift to the palate giving the flavors of all food groups.Finish: A honeyed nuttiness pins down the rye spices through the finish.Distillery InformationThis 5.25-hectare parcel of industrial buildings in downtown Toronto was home to the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, which operated from 1837 to 1990. James Worts purchased the site in 1832 as the location for a gristmill; his partner and brother-in-law William Gooderham converted it to a whiskey distillery after Worts’ untimely death. Between 1859 and 1895, architects David Roberts, Sr. and David Roberts, Jr. designed and constructed an industrial campus, the earliest structures being the limestone gristmill and distillery. The growth of the industrial campus resulted in the extension of the shoreline southward some 500 meters as new wharves were added. The distillery closed in 1990 and was purchased in 2001 by the development corporation Cityscape, which initiated the large-scale, adaptive re-use of the site, led by the architectural firm ERA.
