What cigars go well with this whiskey? It looks like bourbon is the preferred beverage. Any thoughts on the Canadian whiskey's?

Most of the fuller bodied cigars will work well with Brown liquor.

Thanks Doc,

I guess that opens a few more doors. Is there any I should stay away from?

Being a Canadian who has drank a lot of what this country has to offer in whisky, I personally would rather drink dog piss. If you want whisky than drink bourbon or scotch.

Canadian whiskey is made with Rye, Bourbon with corn, Scotch with wheat and/or malt. Very different, yet in the same family.

The only Rye whiskeys I like are the aged ones, at least 12 years... But I'd rather have a Maker's Mark or a Lagavulin any day !

You obviously dont know your azz from your head if you dont think there are any good wiskeys in Canada. what a terrible and uninformed post.

If you want to try some of what canada has to offer look for these lablels:
Gooderham & worts
tangle ridge
Pike creek
Lot no. 40

Thanks dre! I kind of thought the same thing when I read his post. I'll check our shops for those flavors.

Terrible maybe but I don't think uninformed. I said that I "personally" would not want to drink Canadian whiskies over there American and Scotish counterparts. I based this on the whiskies that I have drank.

I can understand people liking different wiskeys over canadian wiskey as i agree that scotch is more refined while bourbon is easyer to get into. That being said Canadian wiskey can be both of those. Let us know what you find Scoop

I always enjoy Crown Royal when I want a light spirit. Crown Reserve is good, too. I haven't tried XR, but it's priced like JW Blue.

I tried Knob Creek and Makers Mark. They were really not to my likeing. So for now I will stick to the lighter stuff. Even though I drink my whiskies on the rocks, I think the canadians suit my taste for now.
