LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2026

NEAT WITH MEAT

Grilled Lamb Chops with Rye & Ginger Glaze p. 93 Succulent lamb rack chops, grilled to burnished brown with flame- kissed edges, boast a rich, meaty depth suited to bold Canadian whiskies. With a nod to the classic highball, a rye-and-ginger glaze adds sweetness and spice, echoing whisky’s flavour profile while creating balance for a harmonious pairing.

BOLD & SPICY WHISKIES

Dillon’s Rye Whisky LCBO 14915, $49.95

Bright citrus zest, nutmeg and cinnamon lead the nose of this grain-to-glass Canadian rye, supported by oak-led structure that carries into a lengthy, drying finish with a peppery bite.

Signal Hill Founders Select Overproof Whisky LCBO 32225, $59.95 This overproof blend from Newfoundland bursts with honeyed malt, dried orange peel, burnt sugar and anise. Bottled at 56.3 per cent alcohol by volume (a few drops of water help unlock aromatics and complexity), it’s matured in a mix of Canadian-whisky and new white oak. It finishes bold with warming intensity. Alberta Distillers Rare Batch Issue No. 2 Whisky LCBO 49310, $149.95 More than two decades of aging in Canadian, bourbon and charred white oak allow dark molasses, clove and vanilla to shine, leading to cask-driven depth and a smooth, enduring, gentle burn on the finish.

SERVING TIP Pour pairing whiskies into a rocks glass with a large ice cube for subtle dilution or serve them neat in a Glencairn whisky glass (right) or other small, tulip-shaped glass.
