Review: North of 7 Canadian Whisky (95 % Rye)

Posted by Arctic Wolf on June 6, 2018

Greg Lipin and Jody Miall are both avid rock climbers who regularly travel to Kentucky on climbing trips. It was there that the two friends developed a passion for ‘brown spirits’ which led them to opening their own Micro-distillery (North of 7) in Ottawa, Ontario. They currently produce several styles of Canadian Whisky, two versions of dark rum, as well as both gin and vodka.

The subject of this review is the North of 7 Single Barrel Canadian Whisky from Barrel Number 10, which is produced from a 95 % Rye Mashbill. The whisky was aged in for a minimum of 3 years in a specially toasted 53 gallon oak barrels from Independent Stave Company.

This is a true locally produced whisky as all of the grain used by the distillery is sourced locally from the  Moulin St.-Georges Mill (corn from the Alexandria area) and the Against the Grain farm in Winchester.

Here is a link to my full review:

Review: North of 7 Canadian Whisky (95 % Rye)

“… The breezes above the glass brought me a nice mixture of maple, cedar, and rye grain the combination of which reminded me of graham wafers. As I let the glass breathe, baking spices (vanilla, cinnamon and hints of nutmeg) and tobacco seemed to unravel themselves from the oak and cedar spices. I notice some fruitiness in the air in the form of marmalade and canned apricots. Hints of marzipan rounds out the nose …”

Please enjoy my review which concludes with recipe suggestion which combines North of 7’s Single Barrel Whisky with their wonderful Leatherback Rum.

Chimo!
