Last Straw Straight Ontario Rye, 43%

Price: 57 Issue: Fall 2019 Reviewer: Davin de Kergommeaux Category: Canadian

Last Straw's inaugural whisky is a humdinger of a 100% rye, with oodles of oomph and a pleasing balance of grain and barrel notes. Youthfully malty, it shows rye spices, dry hay, barrel tones, hot black licorice, some citrus notes, and candied fruit. Hints of butterscotch and vanilla temper black pepper and sweet pine pitch. Lots of nuances for a 3 year old. The flavor sings at bottle strength. $75 CAD
