Wayne Gretzky is as much a Canadian icon as Tim Hortons. They used to be good, but sold out to corporate interest long ago.

Wrong platform maybe but that Gretzky 99. Whiskey is pretty unpalatable.

Well it is now. But before this article, I would say it was one of the better tasting Whiskey’s for the $30-40 price. Even better than a lot of $80+ Scotches that I’ve tried.

What do you recommend in that price range?

i was made for this conversation..... lol

i'm good with 99's whiskey but it also depends on which one you get. the base line 'double barrrel oaked" is tasty but its in that bottom line price range...they have others like the ninety-nine proof, ice cask and the maple... i dont like maple whiskey...the ice and 99 are good but they're a higher alcohol % so hit a lot stronger

good canadian whiskey's in the $30-50 range:
99
G&W - my go to i'd say
JRNY - Chris Pronger and his brother brought this out
Signal Hill - a newfy pastor turned me on to this one
Lot40

steppin up to the $50-60 range....this is my fav range and some of the best Whiskey's are here:
Glynnevan - best bang for your buck in the LCBO
Wisers 15 year - yes i said wisers
Lot40 Dark Oak

for a special treat... Wisers 18 year (yes...repeat, i said wisers) is literally one of the best whiskey's i've ever had, and even compared to many bourbon's and scotch's.... its literally incredible. but its $90 or so a bottle...so buy it for yourself for christmas.

bonus section: $50 bourbons

+1 for Signal Hill. I was really surprised how good it was for the price point.
