One of Canada's Oldest Whisky Names
Rich & Rare has been a fixture of Canadian whisky shelves for generations — a value classic in the Sazerac portfolio alongside Buffalo Trace and the rest of the Frankfort lineup. The recipe is the traditional Canadian approach: light, blended whisky built for smoothness, with vanilla buttercream, praline, and a soft peppery fade. Nobody buys the 1.75L to contemplate it — this is the bottle that keeps the home bar moving. See more from Rich & Rare or browse Del Mesa's Canadian whisky shelf.
Tasting Notes
Pale amber; aromas of vanilla buttercream, praline, and delicate mocha. A soft, brisk entry leads to a dryish light-to-medium body with a nice oily texture and a smooth, lightly peppery fade. Mellow and satisfying — a very pleasant mixing style.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks if you like it easy, but this bottle earns its keep in mixed drinks: highballs, whiskey sours, and a properly economical Old Fashioned.
