canadian whisky is traditionally rye whiskey but in recent years mashbills of less than 51% rye are being used. adhering to tradition however, flavors attributed to classic rye whiskey characterize most canadian whiskies. three fingers and crown royal are sublime offerings providing delight to the palate. american rye whiskey was the most common whiskey in america in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s, with pittsburgh being its hub. classic american rye largely disappeared after prohibition, but since the 1960’s has made a valiant revival. with production centered in indiana and kentucky, and stretching across the country, american rye is back with a vengeance. rittenhouse and bulleit from kentucky, widow jane from new york and high west out of utah are world class contenders.
