Lot No. 40 Rye Explorations No. 2: Port Casks

Lot No. 40 Rye Explorations No. 2 showcases 100% rye distilled in a traditional copper pot still, then elevated through a finish in seasoned Port casks. This limited-edition, small-batch release deepens Lot No. 40’s signature spice with a rich, fruity dimension drawn from the fortified wine casks. Aromas of strawberry–rhubarb, caramel, vanilla, shaved ginger, dried fruit and a hint of subtle leather lead into a bold palate shaped by cask-strength intensity at 53.1% alc./vol. Its red-copper colour sets the tone for a layered, expressive rye that rewards slow sipping. A Silver Medal winner at the 2024 Canadian Whisky Awards, Port Casks offers a distinctive exploration of rye, wood and fortified wine influence.
