Cost
Lot 40 Canadian Rye is distilled at the Corby distillery in a 12,000 liter copper pot-still and is 100% rye. (Mash-bill is 90% Canadian Rye and 10% malted rye.) This whisky is a bit of a re-make of a re-make. Originally distilled at Joshua Booth's farm near Millhaven, Ontario at the end of the American Revolutionary War, Lot 40 was created as a tribute to Joshua by Mike Booth his great-great-great-great grand-nephew back in the 1990’s. This 2012 release is a revival of that tribute.

Tasting Notes
"Aroma is dominated by sour rye bread and has an undertone of orange-honey and green pepper. With a firm, smooth and refreshing body there is no mistaking the rye, and it is one of the best Canadian productions I have ever tasted. The lengthy finish is dominated by spiced honey. The overall impression is fruity, spicy, peppery deliciousness. "
