Very disappointed with this one. Smooth with simple and diminished sweet flavors and overall a lack of character. Not bad though, just quite boring. Might be good to mix, but a cheaper whisky would do the job. At its price point (at least where I live), Lot No. 9 would be a much better choice for people wanting to try out Canadian rye whiskys. I would have ranked it 2.5/5, but because of its price compared to others I have to lower it by half a point at least.
