Gibson’s Finest 18 Year Old Rare Canadian Whisky | 750ML

gibson whisky​ 18 Year Old Rare Canadian Whisky stands as a bold testament to North America’s whisky legacy, blending history, craftsmanship, and aged elegance. While the Gibson’s brand is widely respected in Canada today, its origin lies in 19th-century Pennsylvania, where it was once a celebrated rye whisky before Prohibition forced its production north of the border.

Crafted by combining corn-based grain whisky with rye and a touch of malted barley, this 18-year-old expression showcases the depth and warmth only time can provide. Though it is no longer in active production, bottles of Gibson’s Finest 18 Year remain in circulation as prized treasures for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Every sip of this vintage bottling delivers a masterclass in balance—rich in character, layered with complexity, and seasoned by nearly two decades in oak.

Nose: Lively and intricate. Opens with waves of fruity rye, warm spices, and a bouquet of sweet vanilla caramel and toasted oak.
Palate: A beautiful reversal. It starts sweet, with vanilla cream and cake frosting, then gives way to spicy oak, a touch of fresh-cut wood, and hints of citrus pith.
Finish: Long, warm, and slightly herbal—reminiscent of green wood and lingering baking spice, finishing with a nostalgic softness.
