The Small Batch Canadian whiskies continue the trend that began with Jim Beam’s Small Batch Bourbons. The philosophy is to follow traditional production methods in order to create a highly individual range of products each with its own idiosyncrasies. New additions to the Canadian Whiskey portfolio have arrived in Australia.

Lot No. 40 whisky is distilled in a single copper pot still from a mash of small grains and malted rye. Distiller Michael Booth comments on Lot No.40’s flavour as being, "A natural, unrefined taste you won’t soon forget."
Other reviews… This is a great whisky, irrespective of whichever country it came from. As for a Canadian, this is true rye whisky, one with which I was very proud to be associated in the early blending days. Elegant stuff.93 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible
Nose: Light but exotic with some marzipan, varnish, Turkish delight, apricot (orange muscat) orange pith and milky coffee. Palate: Light with sweet spices and a light bite. All on the sweeter more fragrant side of the spectrum. Finish: Clean with light peppery rye tingle. Still that sweetness. Comment: A mellow Canadian take on things with enough peppery bite to keep rye fans happy. Rating: 77 - tasting note sourced from David Broom, www.whiskymag.com
