Ya, Crown Royal is a very good rye and there are plenty of mixing whisky's
around. Most bars in Canada use '5 Star' or Canadian Club as their well brand.
Anyway, here's a good link on whisky (Scotch) tasting and the proper
procedure. Mind you it sum's up to :: dilute your good rye and scotch with 50%
water, preferably distilled ::
