Lot No. 40 Canadian Rye Whisky bottle displayed on a wooden bar with a Canadian flag backdrop.

Lot No. 40 Rye Review

Lot No. 40 is the bottle that changed my perception of Canadian whisky. First introduced to me by Michael at Café Zilt, this 100% rye whisky delivers far more character than many drinkers expect from the category. With notes of rye bread, cracked pepper, herbs, cedar wood and citrus, it remains one of the most distinctive and influential Canadian whiskies available today. In this Lot No. 40 Rye Review, I revisit a bottle that continues to prove just how exciting Canadian rye can be.
