Lot No. 40 Canadian Rye

Nose: Rye spice first, fresh baked bread with a caramel or vanilla glaze. Toasted almonds. Palate: A hit of unique grainy rye flavor first. Oily mouthfeel. Less sweet than typical Canadian whiskies. Well balanced oak. Spice and slight bitterness forefront, masking a subtle sweetness that balances this drink out. This background sweetness and vanilla preserves it's spot on the periphery of the Canadian whisky flavour profile to me. Despite this, the rye spice shines and maintains the spotlight. Finish Full and spicy. Residual flavors lingering on the soft palate. Bitter coffee or dark chocolate. Lingering oak. This was my last ounce from this bottle and I wish I had spent this time with it sooner! Very interesting in its category and well worth exploring for its price point. I will be replacing this bottle at my earliest convenience!

Ive mentioned many times my dislike for Canadian whisky but...... This is actually a quality product. Poured neat, nose is familiar to genre with ginger maple, spicy rye, bit of barrel notes but we can add some dusty cardboard and a hint of caramel. This has an honest to goodness nose with some depth. Palate is spiced up pretty good. Peppery rye, Christmas, baking all appear with some sweet caramel maple and dry oak. Gotta say the pot still is a huge plus with nice viscosity and mouthfeel. Finish(wait a Canadian with a finish.. yes) is solid with sweet maple syrup and rye drying to oaky barrel. All the way through the flavor and experience has richness unlike most flat weak competitors. Lets not get too crazy its not as good as high quality bourbon or scotch but for what it is im very impressed........76/100....... Best true Canadian whisky Ive had and only one I would (so far) recommend......This kinda reminds me of those maple candies you can get at a trading post
