Canadian Whisky is a smooth, approachable style of whisky known for its light body, subtle sweetness, and often rye-forward spice, though it is typically made from a blend of grains including corn, rye, wheat, and barley. Often referred to as "rye whisky" regardless of actual rye content, Canadian Whisky is typically column-distilled and aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years, resulting in mellow, easy-drinking expressions with notes of vanilla, caramel, toffee, and gentle spice.

Its versatility makes it popular both for sipping and mixing in cocktails like the Whisky Sour or Manhattan. Pioneered by iconic brands such as Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and Forty Creek, Canadian Whisky continues to evolve with a growing number of craft distillers bringing bold new flavours and styles to the category.
