Canadian Whisky density evidence
Canadian whisky is a style of whisky produced in Canada, typically made from a blend of grains with a high proportion of corn and smaller amounts of rye, barley, or wheat. Although often referred to as “rye whisky” most Canadian whiskies are corn-forward and designed for smoothness, lightness, and mixability rather than strong grain intensity.
Practical use: Canadian whisky is widely used as a versatile base spirit in highballs and mixed drinks where a smooth, unobtrusive whisky backbone is desired. It performs well in simple stirred or shaken builds and in classic whisky cocktail families when a lighter, more approachable profile is preferred over bold grain or barrel character. It is also commonly enjoyed neat or over ice for casual sipping.
Composition and sensory context: Canadian whisky presents a soft, mellow profile driven by light corn sweetness and gentle oak influence. Common notes include vanilla, mild caramel, and subtle grain character, with restrained spice and minimal smokiness. Compared to bourbon or rye whiskey, Canadian whisky is generally lighter-bodied and cleaner, with a shorter finish and less assertive oak or grain intensity—emphasizing smoothness and easy drinkability.
Canadian Whisky uses 0.953 g/mL in this dataset, which is 4.7% lighter by volume than the 1 g/mL water reference. Evidence status: medium-confidence. Source basis: Approx density for ~40% ABV ethanol-water at room temp (used across base spirits).
Among the 15 reviewed records labeled Spirits, the nearest density to Canadian Whisky is Añejo Rum at 0.953 g/mL: an absolute difference of 0 g/mL (0.0% relative to Canadian Whisky). The observed range in this labeled group is Añejo Rum at 0.953 g/mL to Whiskey at 0.953 g/mL. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the liquids are interchangeable.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
