Toronto's bourbon shortage escalates as the LCBO removes U.S. alcohol, leading to increasing prices for limited top-shelf bourbon like Angel's Envy and Woodford Reserve. Bar managers report that die-hard bourbon fans still request classic cocktails despite limited supplies. In response, local bars are adapting by featuring Canadian whiskys, creating modified cocktails to replicate traditional bourbon flavours. Alternatives with bourbon-style notes, such as Beaver's Dram and Stalk and Barrel, are being introduced, and patrons seem open to embracing these new offerings as they evolve their drinking preferences.
Bourbon has to be made using at least 51 percent corn mash, aged in new oak barrels, and, most importantly, it has to be produced in the U.S.
Even in Canadian whisky there are very bourbon-style flavours to be seen. A couple of his favourite substitutes are Beaver's Dram and Stalk and Barrel.
