North of 7 Rye Whisky. Image courtesy North of 7 Distillery.North of 7 Distillery in Ottawa, Ontario distilled this Rye from a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, and the nose has good – but not overpowering spices with hints of clove, nutmeg, and white pepper balanced by touches of honey and vanilla. The taste is thick, oily, and spicy with notes of clove, white pepper, a hint of linseed oil, and sweeter notes of milk chocolate, honey and vanilla underneath. The finish has lingering spices along with those sweeter notes of milk chocolate, honey, and vanilla. Very impressive. (April, 2018)
