    There are some solid Canadian whiskys if you go looking. I see you already mentioned the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, but I also recommend the Dillon’s Single Grain Rye, and the Alberta Springs 10 Year Vintage.

    But if none of those tickle your taste buds right, may I suggest that you look to our more reliable trading partners and try a rum old fashioned or a mezcal old fashioned. I can also recommend Writers Tears for an affordable and excellent Irish whisky.

    (sidebar: While Canadian whisky is definitely at “improving”, I want to note that Canadian gin is incredible. Ungava, Dillon’s, Georgian Bay, and Empress all belong in your cabinet. If you can find it, the Dillon’s Unfiltered No. 7 is the best gin I’ve ever tasted.)

      Can you guys get Scottish whiskeys fairly easily? There was one we had years ago while in Europe that we really liked, Highland Bird.

      I’m not a whiskey person. But I detest Jack Daniels (paint thinner notes) and like Jameson Irish out of what I can get in my state.

        Scotch is accessible and popular here. That said, I generally wouldn’t consider it a sub for bourbon, though I have done an Old Fashioned with Famous Grouse Smokey Black and good God that was delicious.
