I searched and could not find a thread devoted to Canadian Whisky so I’ll start one I just read that Jim Murray has awarded CROWN ROYAL NORTHERN HARVEST RYE whisky of the year with a score of 97.5. Seems a bit hard to believe. I do enjoy CR but I can’t believe they would produce a whisky to merit such a score. I guess I should try some as the price is good. Anyone try this bottling? ---

Crown and coke used to be my drink of choice before i knew better. I tried sipping it but dont care for it. I like the Reserve and XR though.   I might try the rye if i can find a small botlle. ---

I have not but I hear what you’re saying. I think I saw a Wisers 18 today for around $65. Almost pulled the trigger. ---

I have an unopened bottle of the Wisers 18, need to try it soon. It was a gift. I do enjoy a good Canadian Whisky but I have not tried a lot. My budget usually goes elsewhere. I do like Highwood Distillers stuff, Century 20, Ninety, etc. I drank my fair share of Crown Royal in my 20s and I can’t believe that it can be THAT good. I guess I can take a punt at the price it’s going for. ---

Geez, I hate Rye… Hahahaha! Thanks for the thread! I look forward to others opinions! Canadian Club 12yr for some decent sipping from my flask on a mountain gets a vote and mention from me ---

Great thread-A few of my favourites are Wisers Legacy and Mastersons Rye.  Lot 40 is delicious also.  Since I like single malt scotch as my preference, I tend to enjoy more of a rye based, stronger Canadian Whiskey.  Having said that, there are some fabulous Irish Whiskeys that are sweeter for special evenings.   ---

The only Canadian whisky I drink is single malt or bourbon…bought in Canada. Lol ---

Makes you wonder if Canadian Whiskey will be the next cool beverage? I’m late on the scotch train but I was early to get onto the bourbon bus. A lot of aged examples at more than reasonable prices. ---

I couldn’t resist. At $32.60 it’s down right cheap and @ is an enabler. ---

Can’t belive it! Highly doubt it, but i’ll giver a try. I highly recommend Canadian Club Chairsmen’s Select, 100% rye. Don’t let the price fool you, absolutely delicious. ---

Lads, I’d pick up some of the harvest rye. It’s pretty damn tasty. It’s started off a bit harsh but after being open for an hour or so it settled right down and got better with each sip. ---

Grabbed a bottle of the harvest rye to try tonight. Can’t beat the price. [Next page](https://ccf.discourse.diy/t/canadian-whisky/3680.md?page=2)
