RARE
Alberta Distillers released this 30 year-old expression in 2011 and it was snatched up quickly at the price of $49.95 a bottle. The whisky is 100% rye grain aged in charred white oak barrels.
Four years before it was bottled, the distillery outsmarted the angel’s share by re-barreling the whisky into fewer barrels essentially topping them up. 8,400 bottles were produced and a dusty bottle still shows up on a store shelf from time to time. .

Tasting Notes
"This whisky is like being punched by the Michelin Man. Soft and pillowy. Aged in well-used casks, the flavors come from oxidation with a slight caramel nose, crisp oak, restrained wood and fruity esters. Rye spices like clove and pepper accent floral notes. The sweetness carries through with a touch of vanilla. The wood has mellowed out the finish with an attack of citrus pith that’s just so slight."
