LOT NO. 40 RYE WHISKEY
Country/Origin: Canada.
Alcohol Volume (ABV): The flagship expression is typically bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof).
Sugar Content: Residual sugar is estimated at 0–5 g/L, classifying it as a dry spirit.
Pairing & Mixing Recommendations:
Because of its bold, peppery spice and earthy notes, Lot 40 is highly versatile for both food and cocktails.Rich Cheeses: Its spicy "attack" cuts through the fat of sharp cheddar, blue cheese, or aged Gouda.
Hearty Meats: The rye's heat stands up well against grilled steak (ribeye), roasted game meats, or Montreal-style smoked meat.
Savory & Spicy: Its herbal undertones complement grilled chicken with rosemary or spicy dishes that can match the whiskey's intensity.
Desserts: Try it with dark chocolate, gingerbread, or pecan pie to bring out hidden notes of vanilla and dried fruit.
Neat or Rocks: Recommended by JP Wiser's to enjoy the pure spice and walnut finish.
Classic Cocktails: It is a preferred base for spirit-forward drinks like the Manhattan or a classic Old Fashioned, where its 100% rye backbone won't get lost.
With Water: Adding a splash of cool water can open up "jammy" notes and soften the alcohol heat
