Dillon's Canadian Rye Whisky Batch 1
Canadian
Dillon's // Ontario, Canada
Geoff Dillon went local for Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers’ first whisky release. The rye is made from a 100% Ontario Rye Grain mashbill of 10% malted rye and 90% unmalted rye.
All of it grown just down the street from the distillery. The spirit was then aged in local Ontario oak barrels for 41 months producing a run of 1,107 bottles.

The entire batch sold out quicker than Radiohead concert tickets but fear not, Batch 2 is on the way.

Tasting Notes
"If this rye were a cat, you'd want to spend all nine lives with it. This beautiful rye deserves the classiest pickup line. A perfume of ripe peaches Febrezes the senses with wild grasses and burlap. The hot rye spices slap you for waxing pickup lines and a pleasantly bright mineral component punctuates the palate. The sweetness of the rye flashes out of the fire introducing a finish where the oak and delicate wood spices dry it out. If you didn’t score a bottle, this could be the one that got away."
