Review: Tap 357 Maple Rye Whisky

by Jeff Ellingson

Tap 357 Maple Rye Whisky was introduced February 2012.  Tap 357 is named for the blend of 3, 5, and 7 year old rye whiskies and the natural Canadian maple tapped at the first hint of spring in Quebec, used in crafting it.  Each of the blended rye whiskies are produced in small batches in the oldest distillery in Western Canada.  The whisky is distilled four times before maturing in a combination of new, second and third use bourbon barrels.  Master Distiller Michel Marcil blends the whisky and then blends pure local grade 1 light Canadian maple syrup sourced from Quebec.  In a proprietary finishing process the maple flavored rye whisky is left to rest until the blend is ready for release.  As someone who has visited New England dozens of times and has several friends and business associates who don’t leave New England without a bottle of 100% maple syrup, I’m very familiar with how serious people in New England and Quebec take their maple syrup.  Harvesting maple, commonly called maple sugaring depends on weather conditions each year, but in Quebec it generally occurs between February and April.  Mild days with temperatures falling below freezing at night are ideal.     Tap 357 Maple Rye Whisky pours to a golden honey color.  The aroma is maple, clove, cinnamon, and oak.  The maple syrup entry is sweet without being thick and syrupy.  Cinnamon and nutmeg flavor arrive followed by vanilla and oak at the midpoint.  It fades with clove and spicy rye that brings warmth and a mild spicy sting that increases slightly in intensity with subsequent sips, until you finish your first glass and wonder where the sting went.  The smooth natural maple syrup finish, has a taste that will bring you back for more.
