Blended whiskey

It is generally the product of mixing one or more higher-quality straight or single malt whiskey with less expensive spirits and other ingredients.

Some examples of blended whiskey include Canadian Club, Canadian Mist, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Seagram's Seven, Kessler Whiskey, Hibiki, the various Scotch whisky blends sold under the Johnnie Walker brand, and Ballantine's, Grant's, Chivas Regal and other Scotch whisky blends.

Higher proof spirits with less time aging are usually much less expensive to produce than straight whiskeys or single malt whiskeys and are often the primary spirits in blends, along with more premium whiskies and other ingredients added for flavoring.

Any grain spirit aged for at least three years in Canada may be called Canadian whisky.
