Etymology
The term "whisky" is derived from the Irish (uisce/uisge) and Scottish Gaelic (uisge beatha), both meaning "water of life". It is related to the Latin term "aqua vitae" which means "water of life". The spelling "whisky" is used in Canada, Japan, Scotland, England, and Wales, while "whiskey" is used in Ireland and the United States.
Production
Canadian whisky must be aged in wood barrels, generally white oak, for at least three years. Most Canadian whiskies are aged for at least six years. The final product is a blend of whiskies that are individually aged. This process results in a lighter and smoother style of whisky that is characteristic of whiskies from Canada.
Varieties
There are several varieties of Canadian whisky, including rye whisky, which is made primarily from rye grain and has a stronger flavor than other Canadian whiskies. Other varieties include corn whisky and barley whisky.
Brands
Some of the most popular brands of Canadian whisky include Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and Seagram's.
