1. Is there Canadian on your "favorite whiskies" list? Which one?
I've only tried 2 :
- Crown Royal has way too much barrel char taste in them, some cheaper expressions are impossible to drink because of that.
- J.P. Wiser's 18 is out of this world good. Never heard of it before. My wife got it for me from Canadian Duty Free airport store last year and I've been sipping it every once in a while since. Can't stop sipping yet can't let myself finish the bottle to make sure I still have some for next time Reminds me of bourbon yet differs enough to be in it's own category (rightfully so) Incredibly smooth, very rich and complex, fantastic stuff!
So 2 completely different experiences here, would love to try more canadian liquid just don't know where to start short of what I already mentioned.
2. Going to Montreal and Quebec for a few days around New Year's. Is anyone familiar with these 2 cities? Are there big liquor stores you'd recommend for good selection of high-end canadian stuff? From what my wife said there really wasn't much of a choice last year but I'd like to see for myself of course
