Lot No. 40 Dark Oak Canadian Whisky (48% abv)

Canada’s Lot No. 40 Dark Oak Whisky, distilled by Corby Spirit and Wine, has taken the top spot in the 2021 World Whiskies Awards.

Lot 40 Dark Oak is a bigger, bolder version of Lot 40 rye whisky. Maintaining the core essence of Lot 40 – 100% rye, distilled in a pot still, aged in new American Oak barrels – Dark Oak is finished in a second new oak barrel, this time heavily charred. This finishing in a new, char no. 4 barrel adds even more notes and colour from the barrel, resulting in a bolder and more intense rye whisky which is then bottled at an ABV of 48%.
