Canadian Club 100% Rye

Promising spicy and woody nose leads to a pleasant arrival that quickly falls flat, leaving you wanting more but it's not there. The finish is long and warming, but not enough to compensate. Flat in a Manhattan as well. I go to rye for big, bold and spicy, so this is far too subtle for my taste.

Another Barreled transfer from December 2016 This review is coming from across the border in Windsor from my brother in laws liquor cabinet. This blended Canadian whisky is 100% rye, comes in at the minimum 40% ABV, appears to be a heavily colored dark amber and is most likely chill filtered. The nose is quite interesting. It smells heavily of breaded and baked whitefish. To clarify, it doesn't smell fishy, you can have fish that isn't fishy. Nice rye bread aromas as well. It's not very complex but it is very warm and inviting. Unlike the standard Canadian Club, the palate is very smooth and easy to drink. A bit of rye spice but nothing even close to too much. Again, not overly complex. Given my lack of rye experience I can't really pick out much more in the palate. It does have a sweetness to it. It does have a bit of spice on the finish which is medium short. Not bad for a cheap every day sipping rye or for mixing.
