Lot No. 40 Rye Explorations No. 3 builds on the bold character of 100% rye distilled in a traditional copper pot still, then aged in new white oak before its finishing journey in European cherry wood casks. This rare wood adds a distinctive layer of depth, introducing notes of chocolate, cherry pits and vanilla–almond cream that intertwine with the peppery rye grains at the whisky’s core. Bottled at 54% alc./vol, this cask-strength release delivers a fuller, more expressive take on Lot No. 40. Rich, nuanced and crafted for those who appreciate singular rye complexity. A distinctive chapter in the Rye Explorations series, made for slow sipping.
