“Lot 40 is a great example of Canadian rye whisky. It is made from 100% Canadian rye distilled in a copper pot still and aged in new oak. The vanilla flavors from the oak are well integrated and balanced by the spiciness of the rye grain. The mid palate has hints of dried cherry, orange, and golden raisin, which leads into a warm, building finish of black pepper spice that dances on the palate. This is a great whisky for cocktailing with. It is able to stand up to big flavors without being overpowering!” raves Hailey Pasemko. 

“Lot 40 is a Canadian rye distilled the old-fashioned way, in a traditional copper pot still one batch at a time, at the Hiram Walker distillery just across the river from Detroit in Ontario. Its high-rye mash bill results in light notes of pumpernickel on the nose as well as cinnamon and molasses. The palate touches on those as well as offering up gingersnap and black pepper with a decided char. It’s a delicious and fairly priced whiskey that blends beautifully in any cocktail!” says Sother Teague.
