Lot 40 Rye is a legendary Canadian rye whisky that is produced in a single copper pot still. At some point during the 2000s, Lot 40 Rye was discontinued, which caused quite a stir among whisky enthusiasts who considered it to be one of the best Canadian whiskies out there. Luckily, this delicious drop has been relaunched - so fill your boots!
Earthy rye kicks in right away, backed up by caramel, fig and flamed orange peel.
Softly floral as it opens, leading into cardamom pod and peppery coriander. Crunchy brown sugar and fresh vanilla pod sweetness.
Classic rye spiciness lingers.

Perfect base for a good quality cocktail that doesn’t break the bank. On its own it stands head and shoulders above anything else in this price range
This was my first rye and it did not disappoint. Loved it and I killed the bottle far too quickly, so another bottle will be on order soon.
Picked this out on a whim. Growing up in Canada, around so called “Canadian Rye” (which is NOT Rye), I always passed it by. The more pours I have of this, the more I discover in it, and the more I love about it. With a heavy cooking spice that reminds me of family dinners of my youth, with a following brown sugar and vanilla, and ending with a pepper spice and slight tannin dryness. The sweetness and pepper lingers long, and leaves me wanting for more. The only thing I would like more of is a citrus orange peel note, which is there, I just would like more of it. Im usually a Bourbon lover for vanilla and dark fruit, and scotch lover for the peaty smoke and fruitiness, but I may be visiting this bottle for a good long while.
So different from what I think of as rye (American, particularly MGP)! Such caramel, toffee... if I had known sooner, it would have been a regular purchase for years. Now, to get my hands on that cask strength version...
Well worth a try. High end Canadian whisky is laughably underpriced and those of us who’ve tried Lot 40 knows it represents typically good value. Really fantastic whisky, peppery, oaky, cinnamon, honey. Lovely.
