Its original Canadian retail price was approximately C$29.95, so $27.99 is used as an estimated original U.S. price based on its historical market positioning. A bottle sold at a U.S. auction for $280 in December 2024. Approximately $225 to $325 represents a reasonable secondary-market estimate, while specialist-store prices may range from $275 to $375 depending on bottle condition, fill level, packaging, taxes, and seller markup.
Flavor Profile
Vanilla toffee, fresh-cut oak, cedar, and sweet rye spice lead the aroma. The palate develops caramel, ripe berries, tropical fruit, cinnamon, clove, pepper, burnt sugar, and subtle chocolate. The finish is long and woody, with peppermint, citrus zest, dried rye, warm spice, and lingering vanilla.
