After more than a year of getting the cold shoulder from Canada, the American booze industry is feeling the heat. Exports of booze from the US to Canada were less than half in 2025 than they were a year earlier.
Only a measly 50% ???
We can do better.
Unfortunately most Canadian whisky I’ve tried is rye, and rye is kinda “meh” for me.
Doesn’t mean I drink bourbon anymore, though…
I tried Canadian whisky for the first time this year, it’s pretty decent. ABV could be a little higher.
Canadian Rye is some of the best whisky out there. Between Scottish, Irish and Canadian whisk(e)y I really don’t need anything American.
I tend to only get Scottish and Japanese. Never had a good American one, but will try find something Canadian.
There’s a small producer here in Montreal that makes a smoked whisky that I’m a fan of though it’s nothing fancy.

It does well in blind tests.
Good, but it be sold in the LCBO, or will Ontarians have to go to Buffalo to get it?
Oh no… Anyway
