    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

"This rye beast is crammed with so many spices that a copper label is fitted to the bottle to brace it from bulging. Fruity spring flowers and freshly baked rye bread flood from the whisky. And not just any rye bread, but the kind they teach in a prison baking class. The robust rye spices and bottomless oak rumble on the palate with a delicate caramel that pulls its own weight. The Energizer Bunny’s mentor is the endless finish. An instant classic."
