I am not going to impress you with fancy words or say things like it tastes like "American pancakes in syrup" (yep, saw that in a whisky review somewhere). You want to try a real Canadian Rye whisky, try this. Neat, on ice, with a splash of H2O...but no mix, save that for the 12 yr. This is a straight sipping whisky. You Scotch drinking folks who never tried a good rye, the first impression on the tongue is the spiceiness of the rye. Do not let that scare you, it is actually quite smooth. This is a whisky fit for the single malt snob. Don't think you can buy this outside of Canada, but cannot say for sure. If you are in Canada for a visit, make this your duty free bottle. Bottle #381258 is the one I based this on, and am drinking as I write this...or wrote by the time you read this.
On my next trip to Canada Gibson´s finest Rare 18 and Wiser´s Legacy are on my shopping list...
