About Lot No. 40 100% Rye Whisky
The history of this Canadian rye whisky dates back to 1998 when Master Blender Michael Booth crafted a whisky, inspired by how a 100% rye whisky would have been made in early Canada by his forefather Joshua Booth. The name comes from the plot of land that Joshua was given upon his arrival in Canada. Today, the whisky is crafted at the Hiram Walker & Sons distillery in Windsor, Ontario by Master Blender Dr. Don Livemore. The recipe was altered slightly, as the current expression is made from unmalted rye. It's once column-distilled and once pot-distilled, then aged in new American virgin oak casks before being bottled at 86 proof.Get your bottle of this Canadian 100% rye whisky today!
About Lot No. 40
Following the end of the American Revolutionary War, Joshua Booth emigrated from his native New York to the Ernestown Township in eastern Ontario. Booth was a farmer and carpenter by trade, and eventually began distilling whisky on his farm at Lot No. 40 near Millhaven, Ontario. Booth died in 1813, but seven generations later, his great-great-great grandnephew, Michael D. Booth began producing a whisky named Lot. No 40 once more.About Rye
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
