Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Aged for 99 days in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from their own estate, Wayne Gretzky Ninety-Nine Proof Whisky has appealing aromas of caramel apples, smoke and pecan pie. Flavours reveal heated burnt sugar, toffee, candied orange peel and char grilled buttered corn on cob.

Fun fact - Not only is this whisky named after the iconic number “99” - which is the number Wayne Gretzky wore during his Hockey career, but this whisky features a slightly higher ABV (49.5%) than some of the other whiskeys from this distillery. Thus, making it a true 99 proof.

This is a nice sipper to share with a loved one. Enjoy with a cheese plate and some roasted nuts. Cheers! - Tasted December 2020

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
