A great Canadian Bourbon alternative. BRBN of the North.
BRBN of the North is a close to a traditional bourbon that I have found. It is distilled in the Okanagan. I am in Saskatchewan so I had to have it shipped in but for orders over $100 they offer free shipping. I ordered on Monday and it was at my house on Thursday.

"Stopped here on a road trip through the Okanagan. Very nice tasting room in Vernon, friendly and knowledgeable staff and most importantly very tastey Whiskey. Left with the BLK BRBN Cask Strength but the rye and single malt were also very good."
Earth Punk
"We had a marvelous time on our Farm to Flask tasting. Our hostess was very gracious and well-informed. We learned a lot about the process of distilling fine spirits and bought four bottles to take with us. We were very impressed with how everything is sourced locally and how they have found a valuable use for "seconds" apples that are fine but aren't quite "cosmetically good enough" for store shelves. We were also impressed by how all byproducts of the process are composted or given to farmers to feed their animals. It is very impressive and the finished product is top quality."
