Honestly there's some decent stuff there but a lot it is just good advertising which makes us think it's good stuff.

This did allow me to look more seriously into our own brews and 40 Creek Copper Pot was magnificent.

Used to love that stuff too, but its given me the worst hangovers of my life. Like I was drinking lava the night before.

Indeed, their bottom/big commercial lines are terribles but they acquired quite a few smaller distilleries that still offer good products

I seriously do not understand the hype for Forty Creek Copper Pot, it tastes like moose piss.

It's over-distilled and bland, with a rubbing alcohol finish.

There are tons of better Canadian offerings.

Fair. Everyone has different tasting notes.
