According to the Association of Canadian Distillers, "Canadian whisky is grain spirit that has been aged in charred oak barrels for a minimum of three years." Unlike American whiskies, there are no strict regulations regarding whether the barrels are new or used or precisely which grains should be used and in what proportion.
While Canadian whisky is often poured on-premise when rye whiskey is requested, the primary grain is almost always corn with just a small percentage of rye (compared to the 51 percent required for full-blooded American rye whiskey).
The greatest component of the blend in most Canadian whisky is neutral grain whiskey, which contributes to the characteristic light and smooth character of this spirit and allows the influence of even a small amount of rye to shine through.
