Lot No. 40 12 year old Cask Strength, 53.1%

Price: 60 Issue: Fall 2017 Reviewer: Davin de Kergommeaux Category: Canadian

Cask strength Lot No. 40 has been in production at Hiram Walker Distillery for over 75 years for use as flavoring whisky. Finally in bottle, this is more than regular Lot No. 40 amped up. New notes of halva, pansies, blistering spices, tropical fruits, minty candy canes, and peanut skins are layered over the lilacs, rye bread, dark fruits, and slatey rye of its 43% standard release. Long, glowering finish.
