Tasting Notes:  Drawn from the same stocks as the much allocated Caribou Crossing, a true HIDDEN GEM is Sazerac's Rich and Rare Reserve. It's priced like bottom shelf, but it's one of the BEST Canadian blends out there and for $12.99 a bottle it's a completely under the radar blend. Even up against Crown or Canadian Club this vanilla and oak rich whiskey exudes character and stands up to it's more premium brothers. Next time you have a Caribou Crossing on hand do the Pepsi challenge yourself and you'll see what I'm talking about. We've always loved blended Canadian whiskies for their drinkability and dollar to flavor value ratio, but try it for yourself.
