Tasting Notes

👁️ Appearance

Very light. Would guess either very young or a scotch based on color alone.

👃 Nose

Light nose. Slightly tropical. A little funky. A little cherry.

👅 Palate

Oak up front. A little spicy. Not much else. Slight mint. Low proof.

🏁 Finish

Lingering spice and oak.

👁️ Blind Tasting Impressions

I think it's a young rye, but I can't think of any that I have that would match. Not bad, but nothing special.

🎭 Post-Reveal Thoughts (Revealed Jan 07, 2026)

Correct on rye, wrong on young - but given it's a Canadian rye I'll take it. Hit the proof nearly right on. I gave the same rating in my last blind review in May 2025.
