Stature in the rye:
According to Adam McDowell of the National Post, Canadian whisky is once more regaining its reputation for quality.
“. . . the appearance of new, bold-flavoured and high-end Canadian whiskies sparks a Canadian rye revival.”
“America developed a taste for smooth, spicy Canadian rye whisky during the Civil War.”

Artisinal Milling & “Grain to Glass” Distilling in Ontario
Craft milling? You bet your bottom dollar! Some craft distillers in Ontario can tell you the actual field their grain was grown in. And working with a third-generation artisinal miller just north of Toronto they mill that grain to their own exact specifications.
