About Lot No. 40 Dark Oak 100% Rye Whisky
The Hiram Walker & Sons distillery lies in Windsor, Ontario, where the facility has operated for over 160 years, making some of the finest Canadian whiskies. Operating 24 hours a day, they produce a whopping 130 million liters of spirits per year from the highest quality grains. Lot No. 40 Dark Oak 100% Rye Whisky was designed in 1998 by Master Blender Michael Booth, who named the expression after the plot of land that his forefather was given when he immigrated to Canada. Today, the expression is crafted under the watchful eye of Master Blender Dr. Don Livermore. It's first column-distilled, then pot-distilled from unmalted rye and aged in new, no. 2 char oak casks, then finished in new charred oak (no. 4 char) casks. Recently, it won a Gold Medal at the 2022 edition of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, among several other awards.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.
