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!

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.
