Lot No. 40 // Canada
Lot No. 40 Canadian Rye Whisky is distilled at the Hiram Walker Distillery in Windsor, Ontario, under the direction of Master Blender Dr. Don Livermore.
Made in a 12,000-liter copper pot still, it uses a 100% rye mash bill of 90% unmalted Canadian rye and 10% malted rye. The whisky traces its roots to rye first distilled by Joshua Booth near Millhaven, Ontario, in the years following the American Revolutionary War, and was revived in the 1990s by his descendant Mike Booth. Bottled without an age statement, it’s released at 86 proof.

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 which are distilled and matured separately.
Tasting Notes
"A hint of maraschino appears on the nose along with the touch of brown sugar and salted caramel. On the palate, this lives up to the mash-bill. Tons of black pepper and barrel spices along with tobacco and a bit of bitter coffee. There’s a nondescript fruitiness on the long tannic finish. A fine Canadian example. "
