Distilled at Wayne Gretzky Estates in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, this small-batch expression is crafted from 100% locally sourced Ontario grains including malted rye, unmalted rye, and corn. Aged in American oak barrels for a minimum of 3 years and finished for over 100 days in Cabernet Sauvignon casks from the estate winery, it is bottled at a higher 49.5% ABV (99 Proof in tribute to Gretzky's iconic jersey number). The higher strength delivers a rich balance of warm rye spice, sweet toffee, and dark berry wine complexity.
Food Pairing: Grilled steaks, prime rib, aged Cheddar, blue cheese, or dark chocolate desserts.
Tasting Notes: Deep amber bronze with golden highlights and medium-to-heavy viscosity along the glass.
Nose: Top notes of toffee, sweet spice, and grain with a touch of maple sap and subtle wood smoke, developing aromas of orange peel, ginger, almond, star anise, and tree fruit.
Palate: Smooth, rich, and full-bodied on the palate, featuring baked cherry, dark raisin, and toffee upfront before evolving into licorice root, dark cocoa, and cracked pepper.
Finish: Long and lingering with a smooth texture, fading into notes of spicy clove, roasted nut, and dry oak grain.
Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, or with a splash of cool water to highlight the citrus zest and fruit aromas.
