Once upon I time I think my liver WAS the size of my head. Prior to that I would regularly put down same size bottles of tequila or a 12-pack of beer in one sitting as well, and I'm not talking about light beer, either. I come from a small town and we're just raised that way, nothing better to do than perfect the capacity to consume large amounts of alcohol. But there's no way I can do that now - no way. My liver isn't that big any more, what's left of it anyway.
I meant the Glen Breton, which is made at the Glenora Inn in Cape Breton. It's not the only Canadian Whiskey, but it's the only Single Malt Whisky made in Canada. Note the difference in spelling. They went to court to be able to call it whisky - without the "e," which is used only for the stuff made in Scotland - but they cannot call it Scotch. Another difference is that Canadian whiskey is made from grains and not malted barley. I don't know why other distilleries aren't doing it and I suspect some small batch specialties are on the way. Dogfish Head in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, is distilling now and I think they have a distilled malt aging. That statistic was true when I bought my first bottle of Glen Breton back in 2002, it may not be true now.
