LaSalle ceased production in 1996, but is still used as a warehouse for Crown whiskies. The first XR release (2006) included whiskies from their Waterloo distillery and came in red packaging.

    Distilled in Canada and aged in barrels for at least three years. Often, but not always, Canadian whiskies are blends of corn, barley and rye which are distilled and matured separately.

Tasting Notes

"The aroma is heavy on the spice, both from the whisky and the barrel along with sweet notes of vanilla and candied apple caramel coating. The mid-palate is a bit aggressive and raw and is mixed with a young corn profile and dried fruit. The finish is on the dry and bitter side. For the price, the whisky should be a bit more balanced and integrated."
