You haven't sampled enough. There is a tremendous amount of variety in Canadian whisky. I have had some exceptional Canadians over the years, like Alberta Premium 25yo, Alberta Premium 30yo, J.P. Wiser's Dissertation, J.P. Wiser's Red Letter, Ninety 20yo, Century Reserve 21-Year-Old, etc.I don't do Canadian whiskey. To my palate they're both too dry and astringent at the same time.
I listed some more available Canadian varieties in a post above. Have you tried any of these?
Alberta Premium Cask Strength
Alberta Premium Batch 10 Legacy Reserve
Lot No. 40 Dark Oak
Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye
I've never tried Bib & Tucker. I really like the flavour of Longbranch, I just wish they had made it higher in alcohol content, 46% or 50% would have made it much better. You should try my concoction, equal parts Old Turkey 86 and 101. Wonderful!I like bourbon, and have 2 recent favorites:
just to share...

If you like the flavor on the Longbranch then maybe keep an eye out for the Bib & Tucker. It's a bit darker / heavier of a flavor, the Longbranch is a bit brighter. But we're of the same mind on the Longbranch and I like the Bib & Tucker quite well. And the B&T says it's 92 proof, so right up your alley. Ach, now I've talked myself into it, I'll go have a pour...
I would like to try it, however bourbon is not currently being sold in Ontario. Fortunately I have four full bottles of my regulars left.
