Canadian whisky brand Forty Creek has announced the latest addition to its portfolio, Forty Creek Butter Tart Cream Liquor. Inspired by the Canadian dessert, the spirit has flavours of brown sugar and cream. Manufacturer Campari Canada said the new product aims to offer “an indulgent treat, evoking fond memories among Canadians”. Crafted with fresh dairy cream and Forty Creek whisky, it can be drank neat or over ice, or as a cream supplement added to coffee. Forty Creek master blender Bill Ashburn commented: “After the incredibly successful launch of Forty Creek Nanaimo Bar Cream in 2020, we know Canadians have a deep affinity for local desserts. Today, we're excited to unveil another spirit inspired by Canada, paying homage to the iconic butter tart, unearthing familiar memories for consumers nationwide.” In Ontario, the new spirit retails for CAD 32.75 ($24.88) and is available for sale at LCBO, Forty Creek Distillery and on fortycreekwhisky.com. It will become available across other provinces throughout summer and autumn.
