Pike Creek 10 Year Old Canadian Whisky Finished in Rum Barrels
Pike Creek 10 Year Old Canadian Whisky Finished in Rum Barrels is a 750mL Canadian whisky bottled at 42% ABV, double distilled in column stills, aged for ten years and then finished in rum barrels at Hiram Walker Distillery in Windsor, Ontario. It matures in a non-climate-controlled warehouse with no electricity, where sub-zero winters and hot summers drive the spirit deep in and out of the wood — whisky crafted by the elements, in the brand's own phrase. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Crafted by the Elements in Windsor, Ontario
Pike Creek is part of Corby's Northern Border Collection, the family of Canadian whiskies — alongside Lot No. 40 and Gooderham & Worts — created at Hiram Walker in Windsor under Master Blender Dr. Don Livermore. What sets Pike Creek apart is patience with the weather: ten years in an unheated, unpowered warehouse means every Ontario winter shrinks the barrels tight and every summer swells them open, pulling dried fruit, spice and toffee out of the oak. A finishing rest in rum barrels lays a final veneer of sweetness over that decade of work. Explore the collection on the Pike Creek vendor page, or browse our Canadian whisky collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: an extraordinarily full and robust whisky, with a fragrant nose of dried fruits over underlying spice and toffee.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to open the dried fruit and toffee; the rum-barrel finish also makes it a natural base for a whisky-forward Old Fashioned. More Canadian whiskies are in our whisky collection.
