This Rye is distilled by Hiram Walker in Canada.
Tasting notes:
Light ginger spices on the nose. Soft, mild solventy notes on the palate. Very delicate, simple, almost thin on the palate. Light gingery short finish. An apéritif sipping dram - no more.
Hiram Walker Special Old Rye Whisky, 40% abv
Sweet, light damp grass moving to dryness on the nose. Sweet, dry mouthfeel - a bit rough - then apples, dark fruit and brown sugar on the palate. Zesty to rough dry medium finish.

Light sweet spices on the nose - very delicate. Faded soft rye notes on the palate. Gentle, almost to a fault. Simple.
