Canadian whisky is a type of whisky produced in Canada. Most Canadian whiskies are blended multi-grain liquors containing a large percentage of corn spirits, and are typically lighter and smoother than other whisky styles. Several hundred years ago, when Canadian distillers began adding small amounts of highly-flavourful rye grain to their mashes people began demanding this new rye-flavoured whisky, referring to it simply as "rye". Today, as for the past two centuries, the terms "rye whisky" and "Canadian whisky" are used interchangeably in Canada and (as defined in Canadian law) refer to exactly the same product, which generally is made with only a small amount of rye grain.

The one that started the legend! Like all our whiskies 1858 Original is blended before ageing. This allows the subtle flavors of the rye, rye malt, barley and corn to marry perfectly before their long sleep in top quality white oak barrels. The result is a smooth, light, mellow flavor that is the first choice of millions in over 156 countries around the World.
Nose Sweet corn, cough syrup, hmm, smells like Canadian Whisky.
Palate Very sweet with some underlying corn, floral notes and some grassy, malty notes and then some sourness.
Finish Finish is mostly floral with a bit of tin. Too light and sweet. Not something I would want to spend much time with.
