Award-winning Canadian whisky brand [Forty Creek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-spiced-whisky) is introducing a new rum-infused whisky called Foxheart that boasts notes oak, spice and fruit. The latest innovation from Forty Creek gets its name from [Master Blender](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mount-gay-rum-1) Bill Ashburn's first championship dog—a wire hair terrier. The curiosity, determination and tenacity of the dog breed inspired the attitude of the rum-infused expression, which is said to have "greater depth of character and a more rounded, balanced taste from start to finish."

By combining a premium product with [aged Caribbean rum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropworks-distillers-drops-series), Forty Creek offers a new experience of Canadian whisky that is enhanced by flavorful spice. This product combines two of Ashburn's biggest passions: blending premium whisky and breeding best-in-class dogs.
