I enjoyed mixing cocktails with crown royal northern harvest rye with all hype around that one that came with the the press it got from Jim Murray’s whiskey bible. I am too inexperienced in Canadian whiskey to say how it compares to others tho. I’m more of a bourbon guy mostly. I do need a Canadian style whiskey for my cabinet so I would love to hear some other suggestions in the comments.
A lot of people point towards '40 Creek' as a great brand, also 'Lot 40' (similar names, but unrelated) I was at a tasting recently with Lot 40, Pike Creek, J.P. Wisers, and Gooderham's... each of them had great expressions, but also really bad tasting expressions as well. At the tasting there was no consensus on what was great or bad; so personal taste is a huge factor.
Thank you for the advice! I am literally picking up some 40 creek right now and will give this cocktail a try! Update: guy from liquor store convinced me to buy lot 40 instead because he swears by it. Can’t wait to try this out this weekend.
Ok I tried this with: Lot 40 whiskey Dillon’s DSB bitters Costco maple syrup Pretty powerful flavours, I really enjoyed it and I think for my taste I will dial down the syrup a bit and try some different bitters for fun
I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK: not just 'AFTER DARK.' I have ENJOYED NIAGARA PENINSULA WINES! I met them in fine restaurants in Stratford, Ontario and they held their own with my experience of a good many European wines. CUT TO THE CHASE: my favorite Canadian Whiskey is Pendleton Rye, a brand I learned about on your channel.
I used to make these, didn't know it had a name, but I usually make it with Crown Royal. Only me and my Quebecois buddy really enjoyed it. I didn't use bitters or lemon juice though, so I'm really excited to add this cocktail to me repertoire.
Ah bitters fix everything 😉 I agree I myself tend to add bitters to cocktails that may not even call for them. The real magic is a few grains of non iodine salt. I see you have the similar approach from you cooking background. Thou older recipes may tend to have different profiles for the generation it was created in. I will definitely try this as I like a spoonful of maple syrup in my old fashioned.
If you ever come across any of the used tiny kegs there like 3 gallon keg use them to age your maple syrup you want to put a little whiskey in it to you and make sure there's still some whiskey in it
I've seen a few whiskey sour recipes that include bitters, so this one, to me, seems like it's just a whiskey sour with maple syrup subbing for the simple syrup. I love maple syrup so that sounds like a clever upgrade to me.
If you have not tried Hendrick’s Gin, you should, it is a small batch, hand crafted gin, distilled and bottled in Scotland, I think it is a very smooth gin
My wife brought back a bottle of Sortilège, a Canadian whiskey with maple syrup already blended in. Anyone here know it? A tad too sweet for me but maybe good for this cocktail??
It is a good blend. Make a sour without any additional syrup. Or an old fashioned by just adding bitters or with ginger beer 😋 . My favourite is a recipe from a coffee liqueur Crème de la Crème Barista 1.5 oz (45ml) Barista(dark roast coffee liqueur) 1.5 oz (45ml) Sortilège 1.5 oz (45ml) 35% whipping/heavy cream Whip shake cream to top
In more modern times, a "habitant" is essentially a farmer but yes it most likely comes from the old French meaning people who in New France. For the most part, farms in Quebec didn't have big areas that could be farmed even though they farm could be 300 acres but it is very mountainous and woody. They might cut some "pitoune" (wood used for making paper) during the winter, then seed a patch of vegetables, Have a field of oats, some fields of hay. They use to have animals, i.e. cows, horses, pigs and the likes.
Since I have to buy all of this stuff myself... and none of these cocktail videos make enough to even cover the cost of turning the lights on; I haven't got the cash to take a chance on taht one.
Did not know that's what the French Canadians called their pioneers. Learned something new. Sounds like a great cocktail I could try with the sealed bottle of Canadian Club I found in the Pantry from the 1960's. Unless that's worth something... Is it?
techstormster I wouldn’t say we call them “habitant” anymore. The term is now more pejorative than it was. Now it is someone usually from a backwater countryside that is very old fashion in his mindset... or just someone that is from out of Montreal or Quebec that acts or talk nonsense. The original meaning is just someone that lives somewhere.
I have yet to find a Canadian whiskey that is drinkable straight up. They make great mixed drinks 🍸 but that's it. Kentucky bourbon is the only whiskey to drink straight. And I'll let you know upfront I think scotch whisky is horrible. Who wants to drink dirt flavored alcohol
Thanks for watching Everyone! What's your favourite Canadian Whisky for 'Mixing'??? Recipe is in the ^^^Description Box^^^.

Glen, you need to buy a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye (47% Alc) so good.
"I've got a little jug of maple syrup here." I'm scared to find out how large a big jug would be!
Ephexx no such thing as a littler jug for Canadians 😉
Lol I came here to comment the same thing ! Nice !
@@stephane.foisy.186 I have one that’s about half the size and rarely ever use it lol
I laughed so hard when he pulled that jug of maple syrup out of the fridge. Of course in Canada that's a "little jug." 😂
I have the same thing in my fridge. But mine isn't clear.

I like to imagine this video was shot at like 9:30 am.
I’m new to your channel, but as a distillery owner it is great to see someone who obviously enjoys a good dram!
Would love to try this one. Sounds amazing. Have a gallon of locally produced syrup in my fridge.
Awesome I need to try this.
If a whisky is hot, it usually indicates bad distillation or cask management.
With the darker lighting in the studio for the cocktails after dark, I always wonder what time it actually is during recording ;)

Such a simple and delicious recipe! Thanks!
Basically a Hoser Style Whisky Sour sans oeuf. Nice job Glen.
Great video, very Canadian! Oh, and GO HABS GO!

Just whisky with maple syrup is delicious❤🍁
Great video! Did you make your own Maple Syrup? That's an impressive jug of it.
I'm going to have to try this drink.
Yes he did
Go Habs from Wisconsin! Didn't expect to learn a bit more from this video. Thanks!
Looking forward to trying this one out. Thanks
the reflection in the oven tells me this may not be after dark hehe
If you have not tried Hendrick’s Gin, you should, it is a small batch, hand crafted gin, distilled and bottled in Scotland, I think it is a very smooth gin
This comment belongs on the green fly cocktail 🤣
Do you have a particular whisky you consider the best one to drink on its own, no other additions required ?
My wife brought back a bottle of Sortilège, a Canadian whiskey with maple syrup already blended in. Anyone here know it? A tad too sweet for me but maybe good for this cocktail??
That whiskey is on the low end of sweetness when it comes to maple liquor products. Really good as a digestif or on vanilla ice cream

Barista
1.5 oz (45ml) Barista(dark roast coffee liqueur)

Whip shake cream to top
@@Cognitive.Dissident Thanks Mitch!
@@stephane.foisy.186 Thanks Stephane! This sounds fantastic. Would Kahula work? Not sure if Barista is here in France.

You should have tired the Wisers Yvan Cournoyer whiskey. It would have fit the theme of the drink more than the 99.

You must have a pretty impressive bar :)
Did you get spooked from the mobile alert about the Pickering Nuclear Generation Plant false alert?
Gibsons sterling is my mixer
the great algogrithm
Who does not like and honest appraisal? Not something I would drink much of either.
I bet that "little jug" of maple syrup cost $50 or $60.
Interesting clip. If you fine tune the cocktail perhaps you could somehow pass on your tweaks somehow.
Where was Julie?

Time to change the channel name to "Glen and Friends Mixology"
Hey Glenn.. sorry I don't watch these booze videos.. just wanted to stop in and say hi!..
Just remember when you see that gallon jug of maple syrup. About 40 gallons of maple tree sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup.
made it... tried it... meh. it's ok. not a repeater.
Sounds like a liquid cough drop. 🤔
Maple syrup liquid platinum. Can’t even get it here. Just fake stuff. Not the real deal.
