Whisky Advocate says:

This is a new one to us—blending Canadian-sourced rye whisky and American corn whiskey. The label calls it a blended rye whiskey. Although it originated in Canada, the rye component qualifies as a straight rye whiskey as it comprises at least 51% rye grain and was aged for three years in new charred oak barrels.
