CanadianDISTILLED IN CANADA AND AGED IN BARRELS FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS; OFTEN (BUT NOT ALWAYS) CANADIAN WHISKIES ARE BLENDS OF CORN, BARLEY, AND RYE WHISKIES WHICH WERE DISTILLED AND MATURED SEPARATELY. TRADITIONALLY, CANADIAN WHISKEY IS CALLED “RYE”, ALTHOUGH NO MINIMUM PERCENTAGE OF RYE-GRAIN WHISKY IS REQUIRED IN A BLEND.

Tasting Notes
"Lush oak pencil shavings stylishly blended with toffee sweetness and banana on the nose. It’s incredibly creamy on the palate with a tight, cohesive collection of cloves, brown sugar and buttery vanilla. Mid-palate spicy rye peppers crackle the rest of the way with oak that’s brimming with confidence. "
