Lot No. 40 Oloroso Casks is a Canadian rye whisky from the Lot No. 40 portfolio, produced by Hiram Walker & Sons Distillery in Windsor, Ontario. This expression incorporates Oloroso sherry cask maturation, adding a distinct secondary cask influence to the rye whisky.
Oloroso is a style of Spanish fortified wine traditionally matured in oak casks. When these casks are used in whisky maturation, the previously held wine and the characteristics of the oak can contribute additional layers of color, aroma, texture, and flavor to the finished spirit. The result is a variation on the traditional Lot No. 40 rye whisky style.
