2019 Rum Howler Favourite 20 Canadian Whiskies: #19 – Lot No. 40 Cask Strength
Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 4, 2019
I guess a lot of persons would have thought that the Lot No. 40 Cask Strength would have ended up higher on my list of favourites this year. And in terms of quality it certainly deserves a higher spot. But this list is about favourites, which means that the whiskies on the list are those that like to return to more frequently and which I like sharing with a wide variety of guests.
The truth is that although I love the cask strength Lot No. 40, this whisky is just too aggressive both in terms of alcohol heat and in terms of robust flavour for me to return to it very often or to serve to the uninitiated. This cask strength bomb kicks you in the mouth and slaps your tonsils down your throat. Frankly my friends and I don’t need that sort of treatment every day.
But when one of us does need a kick in the pants, it is nice to have a bottle of Lot No. 40 Cask Strength on hand.
