Canadian Whisky Quotes

“Canadian blending is similar in concept to the practices used to blend Scotch, except that in Scotland the products of many different distilleries are mixed together. However, Canadian blending does not resemble the American practice of mixing mature whisky with grain neutral spirits (GNS). Let us dispel the “GNS myth” right now. Canadian whisky is never made with grain neutral spirits. Tiny amounts of young rye or base whisky may occasionally be used skillfully as top dressing to brighten or enhance certain flavours, but neutral spirits? Never.”
