Canada is truly a mysterious land, causing many to ponder if Canadian bacon is just "bacon" once you cross the border. Likewise, is Canadian whiskey just "whiskey" in the Great White North? As if that didn't blow your mind, here's a drink that will take it a step further, way further.
"Canadian Bacon"
Canadian Whiskey
Maple Syrup
Lemon Juice
...with a rim of Bacon Salt
...and a Bacon Swizzle Stick

For the record, we have no idea what they would call this in Canada...
We tried infusing whisky with bacon once. It didn't go so well. Maybe this is a better way of doing it!

Suddenly I don't feel so strange for enjoying Bacon Salt with Dalwhinnie. It is delicious.

I wouldn't screw with the Canadians. We can give wicked hearaches.
(By the way, it a rye whiskey which imparts a different flavor from the peat used in Scotch.)

Canadians call Canadian whiskey Rye, as in "I'll have a Rye and Ginger (Ale)". And thanks to Charles, we now know why that is. Mmmmmm, "Maple Rye and Bacon".
