“There are so many misconceptions about Canadian whisky,” says the website’s founder, Davin de Kergommeaux “That’s why I launched Canadianwhisky.org to help people explore the hidden riches of Canadian whisky. My approach to this website is: “kill the rumours with facts”.
Canadianwhisky.org, looks like a website, but operates more as a blog. “This is a site that users will want to return to again and again as I add new information to it on a regular basis. Just like quality whisky, this site will mature with time.” And it’s not just a one-way process. Readers are encouraged to leave comments to make the whole experience interactive.
“It’s a sad fact that Canadian whisky doesn’t get its due,” de Kergommeaux opines. “For most people, whose experience may be limited to those inexpensive mixing whiskies, Canadian whisky has earned an undeserved image as bland and boring.”
Canadianwhisky.org will identify some of the gems among the hundreds of Canadian whiskies on the market, and many of the best ones that are available in Canada only. “This is not Scotch and it’s certainly not Bourbon.” continues de Kergommeaux, “Like any finely crafted product, there is so much more to appreciate once you have gained some understanding.”

For more than a decade now it’s been nothing but whisky, whiskey, whisk(e)y.
