Whisky Review: Rich and Rare Reserve Canadian Whisky

Introduction Today, we’re diving into Rich and Rare Reserve (or Rich & Rare Reserve, as the bottle states), a Canadian whisky that, if nothing else, has a name that exudes class. But does the whisky live up to the moniker? This is a blended Canadian whisky, aged for a minimum of three years in used barrels, coming in at 80 proof (40% ABV). Unlike many other Canadian whiskies that have gained a strong reputation in blending for American brands, Rich and Rare Reserve is a budget bottle produced by Sazerac , a company best known for their American bourbon portfolio. We don’t review Canadian whisky often—and frankly, that’s by design. The category doesn’t always deliver on complexity or depth. But with this one sitting at just under $10 for a full bottle, we had to see if it over-delivers at its rock-bottom price. Let’s dive in.
