Whiskey

American whiskeys are all-grain spirits that have been produced from a mash bill that usually mixes together corn, rye, wheat, barley and other grains in different proportions, and then generally aged for an extended period of time in wooden barrels. The two major American blends are bourbon and rye. The principal difference between the two is that rye is made almost exclusively from rye grain while bourbon is made from three grains but never combinations of wheat and rye. Use one, or use the other; that is the tradition.

Canadian Whiskey

Canadian whiskey dominance, and in particular Seagram's, can be attributed to prohibition. During this infamous dry period in US history, Canadian whiskey literally poured down the hill into America's illicit speakeasies. After prohibition was abolished in 1933, the Federal Alcohol Administration allocated the importation of 3,314,443 gallons of whiskey (we're guessing for medicinal purposes). Most of this came from Canada. The results of this boon can be seen in the various buildings, libraries, and hospitals in downtown Montrčal bearing the name Bronfman, the founding family of Seagram’s.
The most popular brands of Canadian whiskey, Crown Royal, Seagram's V.O. and C.C. and are called for in bars all over the world. For beginning whiskey drinkers, these are the lightest and easiest Canadian whiskeys to swallow.

Irish Whiskey

Irish Whiskey is distilled from grain (only half the barley is malted or sprouted) then sent through pot stills three times before it's finally stored in wooden casks for at least 3 years and bottled at not less than 40%. Many a proud Irishman claims the inventor of whiskey to be Saint Patrick himself, way back from the fifth century.

Like scotch, is a barley derivative. It's often cut with neutral grain spirits. The malt - half-sprouted barley with oats - is dried in a closed kiln so there's no smoky flavor. With the exception of the Irish coffee, Irish whiskey isn't recommended as a cocktail mixer. It's best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water.

Here is a list of our Irish Whiskeys:

  • Bushmill's
  • Jameson
