Canadian Whisky is far from monolithic – you must get to know the styles and brands.
Canadian Whisky is a rather broad subject these days as a handful of producers are attempting make serious Whiskies including “Single Malt” versions. Most Canadian Whiskies differ little from American Blended Whiskies relying heavily upon neutral spirits and little on actual flavor. Corn, wheat and rye are the typical grains used in the production of these whiskies. Crown Royal (which for some unknown reason is often considered a Bourbon by many consumers) is one of the most popular brands.
