Anyone prefer Canadian whiskey besides me? Bourbon is too bold. Canadian seems more smooth.

I used to like MacNaughton but it is not available where I now live. Canadian Club has been my favorite. Just noticed that Seagram’s VO is now cheaper than CC. It is lighter in color so my drinks look milder. I mix with water.

Which o our Canadian members prefer?

I'm not a whisky drinker, but just a question; isn't "Canadian" whisky just any blended whisky, not necessarily whisky made in Canada?

"Canadian whiskey" is not Canadian if it is spelled with an "e" in Whiskey . . . it's Whisky . . . Canadians . . . what can you say . . . Eh?

I’m a CC fan. Regular for every day utility whiskey and 12 year old for special occasions. Gotta get creative to come up with a special occasion once or twice a week.

Only the Irish, Scots, and Hillbillies make good whiskey!

Windsor is my "Utility" whiskey. I like most Canadian whisky and have several favorites as good "Driving Whisky".

Some thing I never spent money or time on!

It's never too late to start.

LOL Just a sniff would make me walk funny!

You lucky dog you.

Canadian whisky is kinda like drinking light beer...no flavor.

I much prefer bourbon, but whatever floats your boat.

Get your hands on a bottle of CC Reserve.Yummy.Its what I drink.

LOL

CC was my lickher back in my really young age.

Windsor changed their recipe to be smoother. Uh

Yes, the recipe for Windsor Canadian Whisky has changed since Prestige Beverage Group acquired the brand in 2020. [/quote]

I started with Windsor in the early 90's and then switched to Tequila. By the time I switched back to Windsor around 2000 my taste buds were likely gone anyway.

I thought Seagram 7 was the mainstay way back. I have come to the realization that Crown Royal set a new standard!
Thank you Canada!

You see, we have a lot in common!

Bourbans too sweet and scotch taste like pine sol. CC water for me. Need to try the reserve sometime. I dont mind a rye though. Ive had the “bootlegged” Templeton before and liked it. Seemed to have a little extra snort too.

My go to is GIBSON’s finest. Smooth, flavorful and not as sweet as some Canadian whiskies.

Long, long time ago I used to like Black Velvet , was that Canadian?
WOW That was 50 years ago.

Canadian Whisky should always be measure with a - Index finger outstretched to a pinky finger marker on your shot glass.
There is a fine Canadian Scotch from Cape Breton, The Dark Glen 16 yr from Gleann Dubh from the Glenora Distilleries

Give your taste buds a treat

I usually drink Wisers deluxe.

CC is below standard for a good canadian whisky. Crown royal is good, wisser deluxe, forty creek, and a few others are in my liking but haven't had a drink of whisky in years.

Crown royal and four roses bourbon here. Takes me awhile to finish a bottle. several months. Have one or the other on hand depending on my mood when Im in the liquor store. I have a glass of wine several times a week. In the summer I drink a beer now and then.

I can’t count how many people I have converted from CR to CC in blind taste test. I call CC the original import.



Yes, BV is Canadian. I use to order a BV press on occasion. BV with a press of water and press of 7up off the bar hose.

Most things canadian are better. Wisers deluxe, Gibson, canadian club are my favorites. Crown royal i find to sweet.

We buy a bottle or two every year when we go up fishing. Can't find it in the states. Is it even available outside of Canada?

Wisers or Gibsons Rye. Never did like Crown Royal.
But you could never go wrong with good ole Seagram’s 83 or 5 Star…..lol

CC Reserve is as good or better than Crown in my opinion.And I like Crown.

Excuse my ignorance, but Canadien whiskey, is it a Rye whiskey?
Familiar with bourbon and scotch, never tried a Canadien whiskey....

Word of warning if Mel ever visits your trapping cabin,,,,that the TOP of the Wiser will go right into the wood stove. Because there will be no use to it after the first drink is poured.

Canadian whiskey is.mostly corn whiskey with some rye added. They do use some wheat/barley.

There are some actual rye whiskeys from western Canada. Canada's laws on classification isn't as strict as other nations so a Rye from Canada doesn't necessarily mean its the same as an American Rye

Tangle Ridge, which is a Rye was my favorite but haven't been able to find it so quite awhile. 40 Creek is a good one.

I drank a big bottle of Black Velvet yesterday and really liked it.
Too bad the feelings are not mutual this am….. dang thing is mad at me I guess…

BV aint bad,,but is actually a little TOO smooth for me.I like at least a little "Burn" in my whiskey.

My eyeballs are burning…..

Seagrams VO is the only choice, good and good for you.

BV was always hard on me in the morning as well. CC not so much, unless you get real nuts and forget to eat, or forget the water...........

Kirkland Canadian whiskey from Costco is quite good in my opinion. Dirt cheap for now. I’ll be buying several handles this week prior to tariffs kicking in. $19 a handle approx.

Back in the day when I drank whiskey, CC & water was my favorite. No hangover with that mixture. Now, it's just a Coors Light sometimes.

It used to get so windy at the shack it'd blow the cap right off anyways....lol

CC Reserve & Gingerale in the summer(lots of ice),,CC Reserve straight up or in coffee this time of year.

They were out of CC so I got C Mist…… 15.99 a big bottle…..

That,ll work.Get it in ya.Dont pour it in your eyes this time.

Don’t drink that! It’s for cleaning traps and tools. Drive to a different liquor store and get CC.

Probly a plastic bottle too.I hate that.

I’ve seen it in glass a lot upstate. But talk about hurting you in the morning…….

When I was much younger Black Velvet, Canadian Mist or Crown Royal with a splash of 7up or Ginger ale really hit the spot.

I'm a bourbon guy. But when I drink Canadian whisky I like VO

Does taste nutty ,,,,,,,like a Canadian

to be called a Rye whisky it has to have 55% spirits fermented with rye grain

Word of advise is those below the 49th better stock up with all this Import/Export Duties coming in on 1 Feb on Canadian Whiskeeeeeey

Canadian mist sucks with water……..
Not as bad with jinger ale…..

I enjoy Whiskey!!
Forty Creek is a good whiskey. Gibson's Finest is nice too.

Most whiskey drinkers I know would only drink Canadian Club if someone else is buying. lol

I am hammered,,,,,, it all seems to work………

Blended whisky is just the "bottom of the barrel' all combined. Thus the name blended!

Enjoying a smooth Crown Royal XR in our new State?

Most people will never know how good crown royal XR really is

Starting to like the flavored ones.

.........And you called me a lesbian for driving a Subaru on the trapline!

... you are. lol

Not quite.

That stuff is bad news,,,,, dang thing made me drink the whole bottle one afternoon…..

BV gets the job done for me! It always use to be in Grandpas drink closet. Loved that guy, apple doesn't fall far from the tree I guess

Fruit flavored whisky is for kids!

Or for blackouts…….

I like the Crown Royal Vanilla stuff. I don’t think Vanilla is considered fruit flavored.
