All Canadian Whisky (also known as Rye to many Canadians) is distilled in Canada only. It is aged a minimun of three years (though traditionaly aged 6 years). Canadian Whisky as a rule has a lighter , delicate taste making it a popular spirit to mix and create numerous cocktails. Over $500 million worth of Canadian Whisky is exported to the United States from Canada each year making it the second largest spirits category in the US market, outselling Scotch and Irish Whiskies. |

CANADIAN WHISKY
Canadian Whisky is made primarily from corn or wheat, with a supplement of rye, barley, or barley malt.
There are no Canadian government requirements when it comes to the percentages of grains used in the mash bill. Unlike Bourbons, they are aged, primarily in used oak barrels. The minimum age for Canadian Whisky is three years, with most brands being aged four to six years. Virtually all Canadian whiskies are blended from different grain whiskies of different ages.
Early Canadian whiskies were made primarily from rye. In time most Canadian distillers turned to corn, wheat, and other grains, but Canadians continue to refer to their whisky as " Rye " even though the mash bill for most Canadian Whisky is now predominantly a mix of corn, wheat, and barley, with only a modest proportion of rye for flavor, which results in a lighter-bodied spirit.
This lighter –bodied spirit makes Canadian Whisky the perfect whisky to use as base in the many drink recipes that call for a whisky.
