Canadian whisky by law must be aged for at least three years in a barrel and of course distilled in Canada.
You will find that most Canadian whiskies are blended multi-grain whiskies and are often referred to casually as "rye whisky" because they contain at least 51% rye derived whisky. However, they do contain blends of corn and barley in addition to rye.
The Canadian whisky industry featured heavily in illegal imports (known as bootlegging) into the U.S. during Prohibition in the 1920s.
Both Hiram Walker and Seagram's have distilleries in Windsor, Ontario just across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan that easily supplied the small, fast smuggling boats used for the bootlegging. Due to the long, undefended U.S.-Canadian border smuggling of whisky in to the states was fairly easy.
