Disappointed in Canada’s rank here. I always thought we were close to the top in consumption. I figured maybe it was a regional thing; and it is. Saskatchewan drinks nearly 4 liters of whisky per capita, almost double that of France. My home province (PEI, it’s actually Ontario, but I lived in PEI longer than any other province) is apparently the biggest drinkers of moonshine in the world, at 1 liters per capita.
The US trounces Canada overall - congrats! I love bourbon, but IMO Rye is king (Alberta Premium Dark Horse is my favourite). I will agree that bourbon is generally more enjoyable than Scotch though... especially for the price. I hate spending $100+ on a bottle of something that isn’t any better than $30 bourbon or rye. Talisker 10 is my favourite Scotch, it’s about $80 Canadian - IMO better than blue label.
By the way, India, that 1.24 liters per capita is terrifying when you consider the population of the nation. In total volume they destroy everyone.
