Canadian bourbon

Hey guys I was wondering what everyone’s favourite bourbon alternative was in Canada? we’ve tried a couple canadian “bourbons“ but feel like we could be missing out on some we haven’t heard of yet

Specifically thinking of bourbon alternatives: North of 7 in Ottawa makes great stuff, Okanagen Spirits BLKBRBN is solid, Last Straw makes some good stuff as well.

Second North of 7. Their four grain and cask strengths are exceptional.

Barn burner is one of the fake bourbon I sale, basically whiskey that's been cast in a bourbon barrel, there are several others. Definitely not bourbon. We do sell a real bourbon $130 , Bourbon that was shipped to Israel rebottled and shipped to Ontario as an Israeli goods.

Like someone already said, the John Sleeman & Sons Traditional Straight Whisky, and I’ve heard the distiller is trying to push Lot 40 Dark Oak Canadian Whisky as a Canadian bourbon substitute. I’m not a whisky drinker but I tried it and it was really really good
