Every third Saturday in November, we raise our glasses to honor a true national treasure: Canadian whisky. Canadian Whisky Day celebrates the rich history, craftsmanship, and unique character of Canada's beloved spirit. Smooth, complex, and versatile, Canadian whisky has earned its place on bar carts around the world-and this day is all about appreciating the traditions and innovations behind every bottle.
A Toast to Canadian Craft
Canadian whisky has been distilled for over two centuries, known for its lighter body, rye-forward flavor, and exceptional blendability. It's crafted with care across the country-from small-batch distillers in British Columbia to historic houses in Ontario and beyond. Whether enjoyed neat, in a classic cocktail, or paired with good company around a winter fire, Canadian whisky is a symbol of both heritage and hospitality.
