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.
Recommended by a whiskey collecting friend. Beautiful dark gold almost amber color. Very soft on the nose but with nice honey, vanilla and cinnamon aromas. Palate is also reminiscent of honey and vanilla but with a nice pity accent, something not all that common in ryes. The finish has that cinamon spiciness typical of rye whiskeys.
Like it , I drink it neat . 43% kicks flavor up a notch ,vanilla ,pepper , pleasant solid taste not too sweet .
A decent enough budget rye that you can both mix with and drink neat. Sold? Me neither. There's great, good and bad in this bottle. Ultimately something about it doesn't sit quite right for me. Balance, maybe? It tips and swings by the sip. Not in an enjoyably complex way, more in a frustrating, unbalanced, inconsistent way. It's made me further appreciate what a difficult task it must be to make consistently delicious tasting whisky, barrel by barrel, batch to batch, and it all has to taste exactly the same. Can you imagine? And they say airline controllers have a tough job...
Tastes very unnatural to me, like it's had flavouring added to it which the alcohol sits underneath. No coherence at all. To date it's the only whisk(e)y I've tried that I don't even like mixed with coke (and I only ever mix ones I don't like with coke to make them seem ok) You're far better off spending your money on something like Bulleit Rye at this price range. You'll never convince me this isn't unnaturally flavoured, it's disgusting.
Bought this hoping I could save a few quid on the Rye for my Manhattans but it's a bit harsh so will go back to spending twice the money for a much nicer drink
