MJWP Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Limited release from Alberta Distillers .... 65.1 ABV. Great cask strength rye for $65 CND..... Terrific ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeko Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I agree! It's a great tasting whiskey. I just wish I knew the age statement. I think it's better than lot 40 CS. Btw, what do people think of 1776 rye barrel proof? I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's great for the price in my area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Would love to get my hands on this. How available is it up North? Could I walk into a random LCBo in Niagara and pick one up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one, opened it to see if it was worth buying more, and quite like it was hoping to find a back up but they sold quickly in most stores per reeko above, and other people that have tasted both, the AP is on par - or better - than this year's version of Lot 40 CS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeko Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 sold out at lcboThat's crazy! There's a ton available here in Alberta, which I guess makes sense. I'm glad that you liked it, they're definitely bringing it to lot 40; I'm glad for the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, I would recommend going to Alberta, you'll have a greater chance of getting it. Good luck! I think you'll enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Here's hoping the producers are getting the message and making more of this kind of product up there. I like Canadian rye (when it isn't being mixed with GNS), but seldom feel like getting involved in the bun fight to chase or overpay for the limiteds. At the 65CDN level, it's just too easy to grab a Pikesville in the US and be done with it. But the market is tough for whiskey enthusiasts in Canada, so I'm glad to read of any expansion of genuine offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with tough selection for some things up here but some of the Rye that's now coming out is pretty hard to beat anywhere. I love Pikesville too but it scompletely different than Lot 40 cask or Alberta Distillers Cask..... totally different Whiskey . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
