By Canadian law, Canadian whiskies must be produced and aged in Canada, be distilled from a fermented mash of cereal grain, be aged in wood barrels with a capacity limit of {{convert|700|L| impgal|0}} for not less than three years, and "possess the aroma, taste and character generally attributed to Canadian whisky".<ref name="B.02.020">{{Cite web|date=2022-09-27|title=Consolidated federal laws of Canada, Food and Drug Regulations|url=https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/C.R.C.,_c._870/page-57.html|access-date=2022-12-29|website=Legislative Services Branch}}</ref> The terms "Canadian Whisky", "Rye Whisky", and "Canadian Rye Whisky" are legally indistinguishable in Canada and do not require any specific grain in their production and are often blends of two or more grains. Canadian whiskies may contain [[caramel]] and flavouring in addition to the distilled mash spirits, and there is no maximum limit on the alcohol level of the distillation.<ref name=B.02.020/> The minimum bottling proof is 40% ABV.<ref name=B.02.020/> To be exported under one of the "Canadian Whisky" designations, a whisky cannot contain more than 9.09% imported spirits.<ref name="Terms">{{Cite web |date=18 June 2009 |title=Terms and Conditions for the Issuance of Certificates of Age and Origin for Distilled Spirits Produced or Packaged in Canada |url=http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SI-2009-61/page-2.html#sched1 |access-date=1 January 2013 |publisher=Canada – Justice Laws Website}}</ref>

Canadian whiskies are available throughout the world and are a culturally significant export. Well known brands include [[Crown Royal]], [[Canadian Club]], [[Seagram's]], and [[Wiser's]] among others. The historic popularity of Canadian whisky in the United States is partly a result of [[rum runners]] illegally importing it into the country during the period of [[American Prohibition]].
