There is however, (and this was absent in my review of six years ago) a very light astringency in the air. There is perhaps a wiff of dusty grain, however, I do not smell is any quantifiable aromas of oak sap or heavy caramel. The aroma from the glass brings light whisky aromas of rye and sandalwood with a touch of vanilla and a touch of sweetness. The crest of that film slowly releases medium-sized droplets which able at a moderate pace back down into the spirit. When I swirl the glass, I see a light film forms on the inside of my glencairn. In the Glass 8/10Īs I pour the whiskey into my tasting glass, I hold it up to the light and against various backgrounds trying to catch a smidgen of colour. Attention to detail bodes well for White Owl Whisky. What the picture does not show is the high quality synthetic cork used to seal the bottle.

It is evident that the whisky inside is free of colour before the bottle is open. There is a clear area in the frosted glass around the snowy owl logo. In the Bottle 5/5Įvery person to whom I have shown the whisky bottle has had the same reaction… cool! Although the frosted glass design has been used for other spirits, this is definitely a departure for a Canadian whisky bottle. Six years later, I felt it was time to revisit the review with a new Bottle. I was lucky enough to receive a sample bottle directly from the distillery after touring the Highwood facility, and wrote one of the first reviews of their unusual whisky. This was a first for me, and I believe a first for aged Canadian Whisky! Highwood crafts and blends an aged whisky, and then runs it through a filtration process to remove all colour and smooth out the taste profile. The whisky achieves its clear form by the means of carbon filtration. White owl is a clear, well-aged, ‘cocktail’ whiskey! In fact if the bottle did not say whisky on the front you would be forgiven for believing this was an Ultra-premium Vodka, until you opened the bottle, at which time you would realize that the spirit inside is unmistakably whisky! They have, after all, been distilling their very wonderful Centennial Whisky with a wheat based mash for many years.) However, it was the next feature of the whisky which I found most interesting and unusual. (This was not as surprising as you may think, as the distillers of White Owl Whisky are Highwood Distillers, based in High River, Alberta. For one thing, the distillation mash for the whisky was based primarily upon wheat, not barley, corn, or rye. Six years ago a new whisky was produced in Canada which was completely different from any other whisky I had seen. (Updated tasting notes and re-scored October 2016) A little more practice is all it takes to master and roll a blunt with White Owl like a pro.A review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf) It’s not a big deal, and that blunt, for sure, can deliver a far more satisfying high compared to joints. Not to mention, learn to ignore the taste of the cigar wrap when licking.Įven as a beginner, you may end up with a poorly rolled blunt at first. But, if this is your first time, it may take a few tries to get used to the technique. Not only is it a delight, but the aroma is strong enough to mask the smell of weed. You could go with the classic, or choose among the different aromatic flavors. One of the great things about picking White Owl cigars for use in making blunts is its flavor. Settle down and enjoy the fruit of your labor.Be careful so that you do not burn the leaf prematurely. Light up a lighter and run the flame on the blunt to help seal the cigar wrap.As you move from one end to the other end, you may have to lick it a few more times. Start rolling by packing the weed, and seal.Be a little more generous on saliva to give it a slobbery wet lick. It may not taste pleasant, but that is a small price to pay for a mind-blowing experience later. If you want to increase the potency further, sprinkle some kief – if you used a 4-piece weed grinder. Put the crutch on one end, and then start packing, making sure to distribute the weed evenly.If it is too dry, lick and moisten it a little. Gently remove the tobacco innards and discard. As an option, you can use a sharp pocket knife to cut.
Then, use your fingers to split the tobacco wrap.
You can pinch it a little, forming a line from one end to the other end, and only on one side. For a fatter (and more potent) blunt, make it 2 to 3 grams. Either way, it should be at least 1 gram. You can use your fingers to break it apart or use a weed grinder. As you will see in the procedure described, one of the things you will do is to split the Indonesian homogenized tobacco leaf and remove the fillers. Not only that, but the brand also offers different aromatic flavors apart from the classics. Part Two: Let’s Roll That Blunt With White OwlĬompared to other brands such as Swisher, White Owl has a stronger flavor.
