Lot No. 40 Canadian Rye

Just opened this last night as pre-Easter drink with family. Turned out to be a hit with folks that have had rye as well those that haven't. This is definately not in the same level as High West Midwinter, but is eons better than your typical Knob Creek rye. It's a singular complexity---don't expect anything like additional flavors beside rye ( I'm thinking Midwinter which had Christmas spices). But what it does in a singular depth and complexity, it does really well. Nose is like smelling a freshly baked rye bread, and taste is the same. Great value for $65.

A very agreeable Canadian Rye with the familiar spiciness of Rye. Although, it brings in a slight woodsy, almost dusty, aromatic which is supported by the palette flavors. Caramel and vanilla subtlety sneaks in along with notes of malted barley (whether present or not). Very gentle as the caramel and vanilla undertones sneak in with a little maple. Hints of toasted marshmallow by a pine and cedar fire in the woods join the party. Overall, incredibly gentle on the palette and virtually no burn. Easy drinking for a Rye.
