Canadian whisky

Canada once had a thriving whisky industry with many small distilleries. When the Canadian government heavily increased taxes, in the second half of the 19th century only the large distilleries could survive. They also strictly regulated the production of whisky. Most Canadian whiskies that are currently on the market are blends based on whisky made ​​from corn. It is allowed to add other liquids up to a maximum of 9,09% to achieve the desired taste. This can be anything, from rum to brandy.
