Lot No. 40 12 Year Cask Strength

Easily the best Rye whisky I've ever had, and hands down the best Canadian whisky I've had the pleasure of tasting. Unbelievably smooth for 110 proof, and beautifully balanced all-round.

Best Canadian whiskey I've ever had

Nose is soft and sweet. Palate is an excellent blend of traditional rye whiskey notes of baked goods, cinnamon spice, and even some brown sugar. Medium finish with a bit of spice. Full of character, but much smoother than I expected a 110 proof pour to be. Very enjoyable!

Cream soda on the nose, with notes of vanilla and creme brulee. There's charred oak the palate with cinnamon and wood spices. The finish is bitter, like 90% dark chocolate, and fairly long. The overall palate is creamy and divine. Easily one of the best whiskies to ever come out of my home country!
