Canada grows and produces a lot of rye. Corn takes too long. Small grain like wheat and rye is what is grown there. Make spirits with what grows well there.

Amazing the number of whiskeys "Distilled in Indiana". I know you told me this, but I just started really paying attention. Especially since I am very interested in being as "local" as I can be.
