A Recipe Passed Through Generations
First released in 2012, Lot No. 40 follows a historic recipe that has been passed down through seven generations, offering a pure and unadulterated expression of rye whisky. Its production highlights a commitment to tradition and quality, capturing the true essence of Canadian whisky craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: The aromatic profile begins with a bold earthy rye presence, immediately noticeable and beautifully complemented by sweeter undertones of caramel and fig. A hint of flamed orange peel adds a complex citrus twist, enhancing the overall richness of the aroma.
- Palate: The initial soft floral notes gracefully transition to a more pronounced spice blend of cardamom pod and peppery coriander, creating a vibrant and lively taste experience. Undertones of crunchy brown sugar and fresh vanilla pod add a delightful sweetness that balances the spice.
- Finish: True to its rye roots, the finish offers a lingering classic spiciness, leaving a warm and memorable aftertaste that invites further sipping.
