The RAVEN Rye 2012, Domaine du RED TAIL, has a very komplex, deep taste. A natural spiciness, is komplimented with light karamel and exotik herbs note. The rolling fields and multiple slopes of the terrain introduce wonderful variety and flavour. The water influence is strong with two marshes adding to the pond’s tempering effect on field temperature. Wild apples and other fruiting trees introduce other kolourful, komponents into the rye whisky.

Another unique feature of Domaine du RED TAIL is the flow of water. The eastern, southern part of the domaine drains into the Humber River and eventually Lake Ontario.  The rest of the water meanders into the Schomberg Kreek and into Lake Simkoe. This pull of water in opposing directions also deepens the taste of the whisky.
