Adam’s Notes
While 8% of this whisky was Bourbon distilled in Bardstown Kentucky (where it was also blended and bottled), 92% of it is Canadian whisky from Cirka in Montreal. This makes this a Canadian whisky by Canada’s rules (which allow for 1/11th to be “other spirits” and out-of-country bottling). So why oh why did Michael Bublé decide to spell it whiskey with an “e”!? Who knows. But it’s surprisingly good however it’s spelled.

Let’s cut to the chase, this isn’t your grandpa’s whiskey. If you’re looking for a drink with so much bite you need an antidote on standby to have a glass, easy now, this isn’t it.
Fraser & Thompson is an elegantly blended North American whiskey crafted in Bardstown, KY by Master Distiller, Paul Cirka. Paul hand-selects the American oak barrels to blend and create a distinct flavor profile of sweet fig and blood orange. A subtle finish of caramel and vanilla (and just a hint of spice), round out the flavor to make Fraser & Thompson the most elegantly approachable whiskey on the market. As for that signature smoothness, legend has it that Michael Bublé personally sings to each oak barrel, imbuing them with his velvety charm.
For pairings, we find that Fraser & Thompson goes best with a comfortable chair, slippers, some take-out, and a silenced phone. If you must wear a bow-tie (we admit that we’re suckers for them) make sure it’s undone.
Most importantly, sit back and enjoy. After all, Monday comes for us all.
Easy, now.
