A New Blended Whiskey With An Unusual Twist

Need to know:

This whiskey blends 51% Canadian rye with 49% American corn whiskey. The Cask & Crew range also includes Walnut Toffee and Ginger Spice flavored whiskeys (both 35% ABV).

Whisky Advocate says:

This is a new one to us—blending Canadian-sourced rye whisky and American corn whiskey. The label calls it a blended rye whiskey. Although it originated in Canada, the rye component qualifies as a straight rye whiskey as it comprises at least 51% rye grain and was aged for three years in new charred oak barrels.
