In Canada, many people refer to Canadian whisky as "rye," though it is rare that it is made from 100% rye grain. In some cases, rye grain is the majority in the mix, in others they just blend other grains with a minority of rye in order to get a rye flavour profile.

Alberta Premium is 100% rye and comes in various ages. The standard would be more of mixer, but the aged ones are sippers. From the same distillery, I've been drinking more Alberta Springs 10 year and Dark Horse, which are high percentage ryes and dynamite with just an ice cube or two.
