Lot No. 40 Whisky Price List 2025

Named after the plot of land granted to Joshua Booth, a Canadian pioneer and distiller, Lot No. 40 was first introduced in 1998 by his descendant, Master Blender Michael Booth. Initially part of the Canada Whisky Guild series, it was discontinued due to market unpreparedness. In 2012, responding to a renewed interest in premium ryes, Pernod Ricard reintroduced Lot No. 40, crafted at the Hiram Walker Distillery in Ontario. The modern expression utilizes 100% unmalted rye and is distilled in a single copper pot still, then aged in new American oak barrels to enhance its robust flavor profile.
