Let's raise a glass of Canadian whisky

It's a fixture in Don Draper's liquor cabinet on Madison Avenue, but Canadian Club has earned less fanfare in its country of origin.

 

In fact, Canadian whisky has failed to make as big of a splash as scotch or bourbon have.
Which is why Davin de Kergommeaux has attempted to trace the roots of what he believes to be a national treasure.

 

Davin is the Ottawa-based author of Canadian Whisky: The Portable Expert, and he joined us to sing the praises of the underappreciated drink.

 

Davin will be giving a talk at Britton's in the Glebe this Sunday, from 1-4.
