Canadian whisky is the bestselling whisky in North America. It introduced Americans to smooth, easy drinking but lost some of its fame to an even smoother and easier drink with the advent of vodka. Although it took a while, Canadian whisky is back on the map.
Creativity is flowering in the land of the Mounties, but the whiskies don't often trickle out to other countries... U.S. brands like Whistlepig are bying Canadian-rye flavoring whiskies to mix and bottle in Vermont. With renewed interest in single malts and craft products, a blizzard of new bottles will show up in the next several years.
