Fall Bakes with Rye Whisky

Hot Fudge Rye Pudding Cake

Rye flour’s malty notes elevate this self-saucing chocolate cake, while rye whisky brings its caramel sweetness to both elements of the decadent dessert. Serve this cake with the same rye whisky you used in the recipe!

WHAT TO USE AND SERVE

Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye

This internationally renowned whisky is redolent of oranges and toffee with a long, spicy finish thanks to its use of Canadian winter rye. It’s relatively higher in alcohol, so it brings balance to sweeter cocktails (and desserts).

Rye Apple Upside‑Down Cake with Salted Whisky Caramel

The upside-down cake gets a fall makeover with rye flour, rye whisky–soaked prunes, cardamom and a golden crown of apples cooked in salted caramel. Serve this cake with the same rye whisky you used in the recipe!

WHAT TO USE AND SERVE

Centennial 10 Year Old Limited Edition Rye

Produced in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, this whisky is aged in Kentucky bourbon oak barrels, which impart a smooth, sweet richness to the spirit. Whether you sip this rye or mix it into drinks or desserts, its price can’t be beat.

Reifel Rye

Aged in both charred white oak and used bourbon barrels, this darker rye offers a more premium experience. The rich, complex, spicy whisky is terrific neat and makes a killer Old Fashioned.

Rye Galette with Pears, Leeks & Pancetta

The crust gets its nuttiness from rye flour, while the pears absorb the spicy complexity of rye whisky. Add soft leeks and salty pancetta, and it’s an unforgettable pastry.

WHAT TO USE AND SERVE

Alberta Premium 9-Year-Old Golden Rye

A brand-new addition to the Canadian whisky shelf. Expect a bold spirit with aromas of caramel and leather, flavours of raisins and molasses, and a spicy finish. It’s also priced right for mixing.

Lot No. 40 Single Copper Pot Still Canadian Whisky

Smooth and spicy with dried fruit flavours, this rye is beloved by local bartenders for good reason—it’s highly mixable, especially in a Manhattan and any of its rye‑based variations.
