Copper pennies, rye bread, a little floral.

Dry, dusty rye bread, cinnamon, bruised oranges.
Finish
Long with plenty of guess what? Rye! Organic, dark German sour bread comes to mind. A little minty with green bitter lemongrass.
Conclusion
If you like a bold rye whisky then do try this. The price is reasonable and it delivers a lot of strong rye notes. For the price, you get good value for money. If you like gentle American ryes with a bit of corn in the mash bill to soften and sweeten things, then you may not like this whisky.
Cheers!

Hey Jason! Thanks for the post, always great to read your opinion on Canadian and/or rye whisky. It´s kinda complicated to get Lot no. 40 Rye from here, so, for the time being, will have to go for Bulleit Rye instead - would be cool if you could drop a line about this one too ;-) Cheers from the Czech Republic!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly review that. Will do so soon!
