That closed-distillery stock is what the XR name promises: liquid that cannot be made again once it runs out. Bottled at 80 proof, it noses rich with dried fruit and honey, turns lightly sweet on the palate with a spine of Canadian rye spice, and finishes long and peppery on raisin and brown sugar. It carries the weight of an aged whisky without the burn of a high proof.

The whisky is distilled in Canada from northern grains, aged two full decades, then cut with glacier-fed spring water from Oregon's Mt. Hood before bottling at 80 proof. Age shows up everywhere: toasted coconut, cinnamon and orange zest on the nose, then oak, rye spice, pecans and walnuts riding a texture that stays smooth all the way down.

Each barrel stands alone, so expect small shifts from bottle to bottle around the program's core profile: creamy vanilla and ripe banana over toasted new oak, rye spice building midway, and a warm, drying close. The step up from the standard 80-proof blend is considerable, yet the trademark smoothness survives the extra strength. At 51.5% it holds up to a big cube without thinning.
