It’s kind of like how sparking wine must come from the Champagne region of France to be termed Champagne.
Bourbon is just a naming convention for corn whiskey. I’m just finding out based on your post that Rideau Whiskey is in my neck of the woods, and I will have to try it! BRBN from Okanagan Spirits has been our recent treat - my husband really loves bourbon and this has hit the mark
Oof, it’s $60 now, it was $40 when I bought a couple of bottles of it. It’s kinda weird because I can’t find it on the LCBO site, I had to order it online.
I like it better than Wild Turkey or Maker’s. Not sure if I’d consider it to be high end tho.
Clan Colla (from Ireland tho, not Canada) is really good, better than Booker’s (which used to be my favourite) IMO. But that’s super hard to get, I happened to pick up a bottle of it at the Dublin airport and now in my circle we consider it to be the best. Which is kind of a problem since it’s so hard to get.

Heres the legal requirements:
51+% corn
Aged in new, charred oak barrels
Produced in the U.S.
And then the generic proof ones.
So no, not every corn whisky is a Bourbon, although they may taste the same.
Well it tastes like bourbon to me, so I don’t really what it’s called :P
