Amazing stuff like the dissertation and 35 year. Rye spices a bit more out in front than corn whisky sweetness, leading to a spicy, balanced, and rounded dram with bourbon, rye, and rum like qualities.

Truly outstanding nose, maple and caramel. The palate is luxurious and heavy with spice, cinnamon, and great touch of vanilla on the finish. Outstanding whisky that I feel is really worth the price.
For a high strength alcohol content, very smooth. Caramel with notes of rye’s telltale spice, yet very smooth with a burn at the end. Good sized finish. Great value for price.
Huge body and viscous. Surprisingly drinkable for such a high abv. Lots of vanilla, maple, pepper, leather, stonefruit, orange, and tobacco. A chart topper.
This is the Stagg Jr. of Canadian whisky...there, I said it! It's got a great kick to it and a deep, sweet complexity that is unmatched in Canada IMO.
Nose: Hot cinnamon, oak, caramel, fruity - Apple Pallet: Cinnamon, brown sugar, Cinnabon bun, nutmeg, black pepper. Finish: Toffee, clean finish
