Potter's Special Old Canadian Rye Whisky is a Canadian corn-based whisky now produced by Highwood Distillers in High River, Alberta, the brand having been acquired from the original Potter's Distilleries in 2005. It is aged 4 to 5 years in charred American white oak barrels and labeled as a rye whisky per Canadian tradition, with a percentage of aged rye grain whisky blended in for flavor. It is bottled at 40% ABV and typically retails for under $15 for a 750ml bottle.
A clean spicy rye is out in front carried by light oak and the combination delivers a wonderful mouth-feel full of what I can only term as old-time traditional Canadian Whisky flavour.
