JILTED PAST OLD GUARD NEW SCHOOL
• 18th century Scottish and Irish
settlers to Canada were distilling
rum
• German and Dutch settlers moved
further inland (West) and whisky
production began
• Distilleries were associated with
farms and flourmills, and spirit
production was secondary
• Wheat was the original base
ingredient
THE BIRTH
JILTED PAST OLD GUARD NEW SCHOOL
• The term “rye whisky” started when small
amounts of rye grain was added to the wheat
mash to give more flavour
• 1927 to 1840 – Whisky making boomed as
the number of household “distilleries” grew
from a handful to hundreds
• 1865 to 2010 - Canadian whisky was the
best-selling whisky in the U.S.
• 1890 - Canada became the first nation to
implement legislation requiring its whisky be
aged a minimum 2 years
– 25 years until Scotland and Ireland caught up
(Scotch and Irish Whisky Immature Spirits Act
1915)
COMING OF AGE
