    I’m drinking Old Fashioneds with all sorts of Canadian whiskies lately.

    Is it as good? Not quite*, but it’s still good and I’ll be drinking them long after this shit show is over. I would love to see some better Canadian options though.

    • I’m specifically talking about how I like my Old Fashioned, NOT neat whisky, which I also enjoy and would of course love recommendations on.

      What’s been your favourite Canadian whisky for an old fashioned? I normally have my whisky neat but I enjoy the occasional cocktail

        So far, I’d say it’s the 100% ryes I’ve had. Lot 40, in particular, but Canadian Club 100% rye is not bad, too.

        Crown Royal has a harvest rye that is 90% rye and (I’m guessing) the remainder is 5% rye and 5% barley that I’d like to try.

          Good to know. I’ve got a bottle of the CC 100% rye that I bought recently, first time trying that one. I’ve only had it neat, maybe I’ll do an old fashioned next time
