Lot No. 40 Canadian Rye

Dried fruits, orange peel, orange blossom, rye spice, hint of vanilla

- Medium copper color. - Light, musty oak and some mature fruit on the nose. - Spicy and peppery with a light sweetness. Mild oak on a very short finish. - Not overly rich, but also not watery. - I remember finishing a bottle of this years ago that I really enjoyed, thus the rebuy. However, this one doesn’t excite me as much as I remember. Has the juice changed or just my palate? 3.7.

Nose: cardamom, anise, cinnamon, honey Palate: sweet honey up front, rye spice, slightly medicinal. Finish: medium with notes of menthol and wood spice What I expected a 100% rye to taste like. Smells and tastes like a spice cabinet. Not what i would call a "smooth sipper" but a interesting and enjoyable pour nonetheless.

A punch of black liquorice and honey. Nose: A big punch of black liquorice and star anise. A hint of honey sweetness in the background. Palate: The honey sweetness shines through this dram. The palate doesn't completely match the nose, the spice definitely takes a back route in the palate. Finish: Medium and spicy, like you just ate a black liquorice.

Kitchen spices note, menthol

I was excited for a 100% mashbill. I can get salted caramel in the nose. Taste is a bit flat with plenty of pepper notes.
