Canadian Whisky

[velocci]

Hi all, is there a site that describes all the different grains used to make canadian whisky and giving an example of a common bottle for each grain?

[Eric1965]

Canadian whisky's are a blend of different grains. Corn Rye and Barley and i agree with the page I've attached that the water source used will affect or inpart a certain distinctivness to the type of whisky produced.

But to your question please follow this link as this should give you a good idea of the "tuffs that dreams are made of."

Enjoy!!!

Alberta Premium uses only rye, same with WhistlePig and Tangle Ridge.

Century Reserve uses only corn.

Glen Breton uses only malted barley. There are no barley-only blends.

Potter's and Highwood use only wheat.

They are both blends that include several different grains. By and large most Canadian whiskies are made from corn and rye with some other grains, sometimes included.
