Lot No. 40 Canadian Rye

A nice spicy rye whiskey. Very drinkable.

I've been drinking Lot 40 for years as it's my go to whisky whenever I'm out and I see the bar has it in stock. Oddly enough, this is the first bottle I've actually bought and figure it's time for a proper review. Sweet almonds/cherry, maple and the signature rye spiciness on the nose. Peppery on the palate, with a bit of heat and plenty of oak. The finish is dry and tannic with a bit of leather and dried apple. All in all its decent neat, but it's really more of a top notch mixer.

True to it’s description. Warm, spicy, intriguing. I suspect a proper review would require multiple tastings.

Nose- leather and black pepper. Black cherry undertones, a bit musty. Palate-medium body, flavor follows nose, a smooth cherry leather. A bit of spice(quite a bit for Canadians) caramel/vanilla mix with the spice well. Finish brings a bit of drying oak in a very pleasant way. Could be a bit flat if looking for a big finish. A fantastic experience. Super easy drinker with lots going on.
