Geoff Dillon went local for Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers’ first whisky release. The rye is made from a 100% Ontario Rye Grain mashbill of 10% malted rye and 90% unmalted rye. All of it grown just down the street from the distillery. The spirit was then aged in local Ontario oak barrels for 41 months producing a run of 1,107 bottles. The entire batch sold out quicker than Radiohead concert tickets but fear not, Batch 2 is on the way.

Fruitwood nose. Plums. Complex and flavour grows after a sip. Butterscotch. Heat. Rye, or Canadian whisky to the uninitiated, is my favourite, but then again I've been drinking it since high school.
Finally found a bottle of the first batch (my favourite). Wonderful mix of spice, vanilla,, with an oily, leathery texture. Lots of complex flavors jumping around with sweetness coming through
This is Batch 10 Nose- vanilla, sweet, paper Body- peppery and woody Finish- citrusy at the end like a wjite zinfadel or chmpagme Imteresting. Not my favorite but interesting.
Cask strength APV, but with a wee bit of water the vanilla and sweetness come through. Great things to come in future batches no doubt.
Not sure how this has a 4.1 rating it's undrinkable
