As a Canadian I feel that I can be more critical and say that our whiskey's do not compare to those of Scotland or Ireland. They are shit in comparison. Fine for mixing, but as sippers, not so much. They aren't triple distilled and they aren't really aged for more than (not sure exactly - but like 18 months or something) so the flavors aren't complex, just a generic caramel flavor that mostly comes from added caramel coloring.
I'm glad that you liked it and this isn't against your tastes or anything. I just feel like I can be more critical of Canadian whiskey since I'm Canadian 🤣🤣🤣. there are things that we do well but whiskey isn't one of them, in my opinion. Next time to have a glass let me know if you taste anything other than caramel...
I could not expect too much from this given the price and I would say it's okay, but lacking the complexity you get from a good Scotch. It does make me think of our trip to Canada, which was great.

Yeah, most Canadian whiskeys are like that - lacking in the complexity that you get in a Scotch or decent Irish whiskey. But if it was inexpensive and makes you think about your trip then I'd say that is a win.
