@richard_smith237 Richard, I cannot give you a definitive answer. You guys from across the pond have been so privileged in having such great single malt and blended whiskies (malted barley and yeast). Blended Scot is better for some people, but I've never liked it. Yall have such a variety.
Some Americans like and can drink Bourbon whiskey, which is a corn (maize) concoction. I'm not a fan.
Canadian whiskies are just a smoother blend (corn and rye, but also sometimes wheat or barley). I personally can tell the difference between Canadian Club and Crown Royal. VO to me is very near the taste of Crown. All three are good with coke, but especially Crown and Crown is good to drink neat, but when blended with coke most of us North Americans who drink whiskey favor Crown. (Maybe it's just the name and the bottle shape). 5555🤣
