While it shares some characteristics with bourbon, like a creamy texture and vanilla notes, and is bottled at the same facility as some famous bourbons, its production and grain recipe adhere to Canadian whisky regulations.

It is then sent to the United States, where it is bottled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Q: How should I enjoy Caribou Crossing?
