Thanks Akac3sh! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm particularly proud of this video so I'm happy you found it useful

I hear this same story a lot. Not much people can do to get past it unless they want to.

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary yeah the taste of that night comes back at the smell of it, I have bought the occasional bottle and had the occasional drink but after about 50/53 years it’s still there.

@TripReviews I accidentally did that to a friend of mine with Tequila. Oh well. There's plenty more to drink!

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary lol👍

Absolutely. Only had 3 minutes and this was more about what makes Irish Whiskey unique

I'll be honest, I totally forgot about the 9% part. I'd have included it for sure. I was reading through the laws but missed that part entirely

Does Canadian Whisky benefit from Rye? I think it does. However, legally you can call whatever you want "Rye" Whiskey in Canada. According to Canada's Food and Drugs Act, a product can be labeled as "Canadian Whisky" or "Canadian Rye Whisky" if it meets the following minimum conditions: It must be mashed, distilled, and aged in Canada It must be aged in small wood vessels for at least three years It must contain at least 40% alcohol by volume It may contain caramel and flavoring

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary SO CANADA DOESN'T MAKE A TRUE RYE WHISKEY ?

There are definitely some Rye whiskies out there. Just saying that the word "Rye" on the bottle isn't always indicative of what's in the bottle

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary ... .HERE IN AMERICA RYE HAS TO MEET A STANDARD.....SOUNDS LIKE CANADA SUPPORTS FALSE ADVERTISING...just saying...!

@EdwardKelly-vi9sg they've been calling it Rye for a very long time. It's more about tradition than anything. Not sure why all your messages are in all caps

Thanks for that! It's actually kind of tough to learn about Canadian Whisky. Not as much info as you'd think out there.

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary for sure, like you said alot of the good stuff we keep for ourselves! If you ever get a chance to try Shelter Point you won't regret it, they are doing a lot of unusual finishes as well.

I'll take a look, thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe ill contact them! Thanks for the recommendation

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary ya reading the comments I found out you're American. I'll bet the locals would be jazzed to get their products a little further afield. My buddies from back home in Ontario don't even see alot of the products from out here.

Glynnevan is a very nice whiskey! Just about out of my first bottle, and the LCBO is on strike! Might have to ration it!

I don't want to meet the person who prefers Canadian

I'm Canadian. It might be a sugar digestion thing but i would say 1 in 3 whiskey drinkers here will prefer bourbon (consistent price flavour and brand awareness) The other 2 will yell you bourbon tastes great but gives them detrimental heartburn. I'm one of the 2. I'm also mildly allergic to rice spirits like budweiser or Sapporo.

@@zachweyrauch2988 Cows die when fed corn. 🤣

Thats interesting. I haven't heard about heartburn like that

@@zachweyrauch2988 Even low-rent bourbon like Old Crow or Mellow Corn is OK by me. Black Velvet is just awful.

Thanks Christine! I'm having a great summer! Hope you are too

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary I am! 2 kids are home from university in Toronto and Montreal (very proud of them!! - all in mom here!!) and having my 3 kiddos together is bliss! My husband and I and the kids are off soon for a vacation with loads of fun and down time!! I need it! Working way too hard. I am loving some delicious scotch expressions this summer - hope you are too!! I am thrilled that you are enjoying your summer - you and your family!! 🙂

@christinecamley congrats on raising two kids who are in great schools! I hope you enjoy your vacation. Treat yourself to something awesome and let me know what you pick. Consider it a homework assignment!

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Thanks so much Bill - didn't mention my baby - who just graduated from high school and she is off to the U of Toronto and is excited as her sister is there too!! My oldest is at McGill! Momma of 3 here - fabulous kids!!! I will take this homework seriously Bill!! My husband Joel just added in that he will be on the lookout for a few lovely cigars to pair with scotch - he only has a few during a year - no more than that! We are kind of health nuts!! He enjoys the pairing. Do you ever paid a cigar with scotch? Let me know what you are drinking this summer!! Little Book Chapter 8 Bourbon is lovely and delicious - nice rye mint, herbal grassy quality for a Bourbon and I do love that!! Cheers Bill!! 🙂

@christinecamley I have had a few cigars. Not really my thing, which works out as I have enough vices! This summer I'm actually focusing on some craft distilleries. Thinking I may do a short series on small distilleries soon as it was something I always enjoyed doing. Good luck to your husband. You pick the Scotch, he picks the cigar!

I typically do between different cuts. In the case of this video, I could have used it more, but it was unnecessary

No.

There's no e in whisky, That's a poorly educated murican thing.

Hey man I know it was a glib era where we could throw affable shade as consistent allies in the world but it's a less common sentiment these days and that humor is probably wearing out. We should try and find commonality while the rich people in our nation's have their lawyer fights at our expense.

Actually both are correct and the Irish used the "e" first. ​@deadon4847

@@deadon4847And Ireland. If you’ve got an “e” in your country name you can have an e in your whiskey.

Not a hard and fast rule, but typically accurate

That's the thing. N9t legally according to the definition of whiskey in Canada it doesn't have to have any Rye

Hello The Whiskey Dictionary: That's the point that I was trying to make (from what I was told by my late neighbour who worked his entire adult life at the Diageo [formerly Seagram's] distillery. There are product labels that read "Whisky" & "Rye Whisky". Whisky = alcohol distilled from corn. - Crown Royal, Seagram's VO, Seagram's 83, etc. Rye Whisky = majority of alcohol distilled from corn, BUT, has to contain a certain percentage of alcohol distilled from rye (in order to have the word "Rye" on the label). - Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, Seagram's 5 Star, etc. PS: Some of those varieties mentioned may no longer be produced. ( I don't imbibe, so kind of out of the loop, just going by memory.)

Next you’ll be telling us they don’t drink Scotch in Scotland :)

Hah! Come to the US.

That's Ontario, so backwards on alcohol sales. BC has private liquor stores that don't go on strike.

I remember when that came across my feed.

"Ya' cannae be usin' the word 'Glen'🚫, it must contain dilithhian crystals. Hoot mon!"

I actually did a tour of that place on a trip with a buddy. It was very cool. The water is drawn from a spring.... almost as cool as iceberg vodka in newfoundland. (Made from icebirg water)

"The Battle of the Glen" is their 13 year old whisky to celebrate the win over the SWA. Interesting place and story.

Perhaps, but they created the first Canadian Single Malt and they do have a location since the 1800s. www.glenoradistillery.com/history

Alberta Premium isn't bad. Same with Found North. Other than that, I agree

Awesome, thank you!

Funny enough, it was finding enough B Roll to make it make sense that was tough

Lately, the shorter the video, the better. Takes a lot of commitment to watch for 30 minutes!

Totally agree

That could be cool. I do that in a lot of the specific brand videos

Canada is a big nation. Alot of our foods and traditions involve derivatives syrups and juices because that was easier than moving unprocessed goods. I dont know about specific brands but alot of the cheaper Canadian whiskies will use caramel flavouring but many also use caramel coloring. This isn't exactly a nefarious practice. Those processed derivatives did start as sugar they just aren't processed on site with the whiskey.

Yup, not nefarious and totally legal. I find that most Canadian whiskies taste like fake caramel
