I bought a bottle of this Canadian Rye on a business trip recently and what a wonderful surprise it was. I like the regular Canadian Club but it is thin as far as taste is concerned but this Rye is really nice for the price. It is smooth and spicey with just enough heat to remind you that you are drinking a spirit. With ice or a bit of water the vanilla comes out and it is a nice after-dinner drink. Also, it makes a very tasty Manhattan. Overall I still like Bulliet Rye better but you really can't go wrong with this Rye.
