SOV Wheated Rye Whisky

Produced by Sons of Vancouver Distillery in North Vancouver, British Columbia, SOV Wheated Rye is a distinctive Canadian rye whisky made from a mashbill of 75% rye and 25% wheat. Described by the distillery as Canada’s original “Wheated Rye,” the addition of wheat softens the traditional peppery rye profile and contributes a creamy, sweet character. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and new American oak casks and bottled at 50.5% ABV, it balances rye spice with vanilla, orchard fruit, toasted sugar and crème brûlée-like sweetness.

Food Pairing: Roasted pork, barbecue beef, aged cheddar, apple tart, crème brûlée, or toasted nuts with caramel and warming spices.

Tasting Notes: Rich and creamy, balancing peppery rye and baking spice with vanilla, apricot, orchard fruit, toasted sugar and charred oak.

Nose: Sweet and inviting, with vanilla and orchard fruit accompanied by apricot, toasted sugar and gentle rye spice.

Palate: Soft and creamy, with vanilla marshmallow sweetness balancing warm pepper and baking spice, followed by orchard fruit, caramelized sugar and charred oak.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering vanilla, toasted sugar, rye spice and gently charred oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature, over ice, or stirred into an Old Fashioned, which is also one of the serving suggestions given by the distillery.
