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.

    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.
