Let me start saying that even if i can accept that i have not tasted too many canadian whiskies, this is hands down the best one i have ever tasted from that country. Rye whiskies have grown in me, and this one is a great expression.
Bottled at 45%abv, deep caramel color.
On the nose, Sweet and spicy. Honey rye spices and red fruits. Coffee, Marshmallows, coconut and pork chops.
After a first sip i got orange peel and brown sugar.
On the palate, Sweet caramel with spices. Vanilla fudge, rye spices and oranges.
Aftertaste is all about a rye finish. Lovely. Dry raw rice.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable whisky. The higher Abv gives it an extra amount of flavor and aromas. Nice experience, i recommend it. My score for it is 86 over 100.

Come on.. Lot 40 is a lot better than this.. :( Tasted it recently with a friend, didnt do a review because laziness, and it was a good surprise for sure, but I still prefer lot 40 to this
@PBMichiganWolverine hahahahaha noo, this wasn't part of that collection, but congrats to you for having a fine whisky!
Wait…this wasn’t part of the amazing Pepsi haul was it? If so, I have now something in common with an ex-Pepsi CEO…I have a bottle of this too
