Canadian whisky

Crown Royal, perhaps

Canadian whisky is whisky produced in Canada, typically lighter and smoother than American bourbon or Scotch.

It's often made from a blend of grain spirits, with corn and rye predominating.

Canadian whisky must be aged at least three years in wooden barrels.
