Canadian whisky is whisky made in Canada; by law it must be aged there at least three years in a barrel. Most Canadian whiskies are blended multi-grain whiskies. These are often casually called "rye whisky" although they contain proprietary blends of corn (maize), barley, and rye.

Canadian whisky featured prominently in illegal imports (known as bootlegging) into the U.S. during Prohibitionin the 1920s. Hiram Walker and Seagram's have distilleries in Windsor, Ontarioacross the Detroit Riverfrom Detroit, Michiganthat easily served small, fast smuggling boats. The long mainly unpatrolled U.S.-Canadian border made smuggling fairly easy.

Canadian single malt

Since 1991 Glenora, an independent distillery in Glenville, Nova Scotia, on Cape Breton Island, has been producing unblended malt whisky in the Scottish style. Their product, Glen Breton Rare, was as of 2003 the only single malt whisky produced in Canada, and the oldest of the few produced in the Americas.
