    Im originally from Maine an hour from the Canadian border. My go to whiskey for mixed drinks is Canadian Club. I know it's not great. My father always said "there's a club in every bottle" in reference to how your head feels the next morning 😅 Maybe it's nostalgia or the reasonable price but I like the flavor in a mixed drink. Definitely not a sipping whiskey.

    I love Canadian whiskey. I LOVE 40 Creek whiskey. I don’t know if it’s well thought of in Canada, It may not be a high grade in ya’ll’s opinion, I don’t know.. I’m no expert, but I do know that it is smooth sipping and very very pleasant to drink.

    The comment about "Canadians keeping all the good whiskey" reminded me of a video I saw that said the same thing but it was the Swiss and cheese. I get the sentiment though, keep the good stuff for the locals.

    Is it Whisky or Whiskey?

    • @GlenAndFriendsCooking
      @GlenAndFriendsCooking  6 днів тому +6

      Depends where it's made, who you listen to, and how pedantic you are... Generally made in Canada it's spelled Whisky. If it's Made in the USA it's spelled Whiskey; unless you're one of the American brands that spells it Whisky, or if you're reading US gov't regulations where they also spell it Whisky.

    I has stopped drinking alcohol altogether because insane gain of weight and sleep deprivation caused by it but my experience of Canadian whiskies are that they are rather bland.
    Probably best in a cocktail.
