        There are a few that I have come across, but they don’t actually taste like bourbon. The ones I have found and tried are 51% corn and 49% barley. Because of the high barley content it tastes more like Canadian whisky than American bourbon.

        Most of my bourbon consumption was for old fashioneds, so my replacement for that has been 100% rye whisky. Lot 40 and Canadian Club, specifically.

          is anyone in Canada making a bourbon-like whiskey?

          Yes

          yay! One’s in stock near me, and we’re already out near there tonight so it’s easy. I may have to try new things.

          It’s weird that I grew up in the okanagan - picked grapes for summer cash; ugh - but I never figured they’d do Corn in Vernon. Then again, Shelter Point (yowza) opened up a few meters from the house of a grad-class chum, so I have a trend of moving away from places just as they’re getting ‘spiritual’. 🙃

          Looking forward to trying the BRBN tonight if the BCLDB has it. Thanks for the pointer!

        Bridgeland Distillery in Calgary has a Taber Corn whisky which is at least reminiscent of bourbon. Not the real deal, but a fair substitute.

      I’ve been getting it on sale since you guys started this. Which is good with our government finding new ways to be pieces of shit every day.

    The council says exports to Canada fell 63 per cent last year.

    Imagine if your income fell by 63%. It’d probably get your attention.

      Apparently not enough for distilleries to get vocal about it. People still fear the MAGA mob and what they did to Bud Light, and it’s largely because companies refuse to act in solidarity.

    Don’t blame the Canadians for showing you what true patriotism means. Blame your dear leader for making you detested by most of the the rest of the world.

    “And, you know, at some point, we hope things will get better.”

    Oh… it will… just not for you.

    So on on hand, this is great news for many reasons, and I want to thank and congratulate Canadians!

    On the other hand, the article indicated that this “devastating boycott” is basically just Canadians. So I have to ask… Canadian’s… you all doing alright?
