Scofflaw
A potent Prohibition-era cocktail, the Scofflaw is thus named because it -the word; not the drink!- won a contest to find a term to describe the "lawless drinker" in 1924, and bartenders certainly didn't lack a sense of humour! It is a beautiful concoction, the whisky lifted by the herbaceous fragrance of vermouth, and balanced with the sharpness of lemon, and the delicate sweetness of a dash of grenadine! One would certainly bend the law for one of these; Happy Friday!
Ingredients (serves 1):
8 ice cubes
60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) good Canadian Rye Whisky
30 millilitres/1 fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) dry vermouth
half a lemon
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1/4 teaspoon Grenadine
Spoon ice cubes in a shaker.
Pour Canadian Rye Whisky and vermouth over the ice. Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the lemon halve. Add two dashes Angostura bitters and Grenadine.
Close the shaker tightly, and shake energetically until well-chilled.
Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
Enjoy Scofflaw immediately. Cheers!

Whiskey Review Time--- Thistle Finch Rye
Recently I tried and did a short review on a really bad whiskey, in fact I don't think it can be called whiskey as it was a non-alcoholic imitation. So to offset that abomination, I thought I would do a review of some good whiskey. Thistle Finch Distillery is a small craft micro-distillery located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I stopped there on my way to vacation in Stone Harbor, New Jersey and after sampling purchased a few bottles. They have a lot of different products; vodka, gin, rye, and bourbon. I tried their coffee rye, the bourbon, and the straight rye. The coffee rye wasn't that great but I don't really like coffee, the bourbon was meh, but the straight rye, one sip and I knew it was something special.
Long before Kentucky even existed Pennsylvania was the whiskey capital of the United States and the rye capital of the world. In particular the area around Pittsburgh was the largest whiskey producer in the new world, and whiskey ran so deep in the blood of Pennsylvania that when the Federal government attempted to impose a whiskey tax, the region rose up in a rebellion that could be only quelled by an army personally led by George Washington. PA maintained this dominance over whiskey production until prohibition in 1920, which resulted in the near collapse of the whiskey industry. After prohibition Kentucky became the whiskey capital of the US and rye generally fell out of favor. Now rye is making a comeback and PA distilleries are bringing back old fashioned Pennsylvania rye.
Thistlefinch rye uses a mash bill of 60% rye, 30% wheat, and 10% malted barley. They claim 90% of the grains used for their whiskey is locally sourced. The whiskey is aged in oak barrels for at least two years. Final product has an alcohol content of 45% and costs $47 for a 750 ml bottle.
The whiskey has a light oaky aroma, most likely from the oak it was aged in. As well it has a very floral aroma, like fresh flowers. On sampling I noticed it tastes very floral with a hint of citrus, like a light zest of orange. It also tastes very bready, like fresh whole wheat or rye bread. It is mildly sweet, slightly bitter, slight oak flavor. On finishing I get a nice crisp peppery punch in the mouth, white pepper to be more precise, not overwhelming but still a nice little surprise. There is little raw alcohol burn. It is a very light whiskey despite having a very thick body and being very flavorful. Finally it leaves a very refreshing aftertaste, like floral citrusy wintergreen. This after taste will linger in your mouth for a hour or two after drinking and is very delightful.
Looking at older reviews I have found a lot of mediocre and some bad reviews. But over time I've noticed the reviews improve more and more which leads me to believe that they are just hitting their stride and becoming experts in their craft. I personally rate their rye 4.4 stars out of 5. I'm especially impressed because this is a very small distillery located in a little hole in the wall place in Lancaster, PA. I hope they improve their rye even more, I wish them much success, and every time I go to the beach I'm gonna stop there to pick up a few bottles. If you like whiskey in general and rye in particular, and you are passing through the Lancaster area, I recommended you stop and see for yourself.

Review #6: Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye
Previously in this series we reviewed Crown Royal Black and found it wanting. Next up, and last in the Signature Series from Crown Royal is Northern Harvest Rye. As the name would suggest, this is the high rye-content offering from a brand that ordinarily puts out predominantly corn-dominant products. How high of rye? The back of the bottle states that this is a blend of ninety per cent rye grain whiskies. That’s a good deal of rye!
We welcome this nugget of information about what constitutes this whisky. Also welcomed is the ABV, coming to us at a respectable forty-five per cent alcohol. It’s not quite full proof, but anything above the bare minimum forty shows a degree of thought beyond “what’s the least we can give ‘em, for the most we can take from ‘em.” Review time!
Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye
Gimli
Manitoba Blended Rye
Age: NAS
ABV: 45%
Price paid (MLCC): CA$41.43
Reviewed: 2023-10-07
Colour: Dark gold.
Nose: Dill, wintergreen; baking, rye spice. Opens up into fruit; cherry, nectarine, and juicy pear. Strong note of pink bubble gum, blends in. Spice articulates into cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves. Sweet with vanilla and toffee. Dusty oak, bit of walnut later on.
Palate: Pear candy, bubble gum, and a big burst of cinnamon red hots. Dill and cardamom; wintergreen and licorice. Good hit of oak, somewhat drying. Nectarine, red apples and creamy vanilla toffee. Rye spice in abundance.
Finish: Caramel and pear, oak. Licorice. Rye spice lingers long thereafter.
It starts off strong, with good depth and breadth of flavour, and remains strong throughout. This is as authentic of a rye as one can get, with big spice and herbal notes. It’s not anemic in any way, being quite full-bodied. A must-have and a must-restock.
Score: 4 out of 5
Worse in Brand: Fine De Luxe, Black
Scoring Guide
1 out of 5: Terrible; no redeeming qualities, just say no.
2 out of 5: Poor; possesses qualities that detract, fodder for mixers.
3 out of 5: Mediocre; middle-of-the-road whisky, sippable but perhaps better in a cocktail.
4 out of 5: Good; a solid pour, enjoyable neat and outstanding in a cocktail.
5 out of 5: Superb; continues to surprise and delight, something to cherish.

Canadian Smash
It is Summer still, and it seems hardly fair to be back to work, and miss most of the day's sunshine! But the evenings are long still for a little while, thus one can enjoy a sip of a refreshing cocktail, like this gorgeous Canadian Smash (a very Ontarian variation on the classic Whisky Smash, and I might prefer this one!) before the sun goes down! Happy Tuesday!
Ingredients (serves 1):
3 wedges of a juicy lemon
4 large leaves fresh mint
6 ice cubes
60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) Canadian Rye Whisky (like Ontario's Lot 40)
22.5 millilitres/¾ fluid ounce (1 ½ tablespoon) Canadian Maple Syrup (like Ontario's Pefferlaw Creek Farms' Maple Syrup)
4 ice cubes
the tip of a mint sprig
Place lemon wedges in a shaker and muddle them thoroughly with a muddler to extract their juice. Tear in mint leaves and muddle thoroughly once more. Add ice cubes, and top with Rye Whisky and Maple Syrup. Close shaker tightly and shake energetically until well-chilled.
Spoon ice cubes in a rocks glass, and double strain cocktail over the ice. Garnish with mint sprig.
Enjoy Canadian Smash immediately.

Way back at the end of Summer 2023, we were lucky enough to have Joe Gerace and Tripp Stimson of Barrell Craft Spirits on our What We Watch When We Drink podcast to discuss their company and how they create new whisky expressions while sipping on three of their latest releases. We also discussed National Lampoon’s Christmas…
