Sorry to burst your bubble, but Canadian Rye Whisky is made from rye. It's a grain that is plentiful in Canada.
Several bourbons are made from corn. A example is Jack Daniel's, where they actually say right on the bottle "mafe from corn mash".
I guess that's why they call it corn mash whiskey, not rye whisky.
Hope that clears that up for you.

I love "fine print"!! Usually it makes or breaks a deal. The devil is in the details.

It's actually a blend of grains like rye, corn and barley 🤷‍♂️

Is Crown Royal whiskey or bourbon?
Crown Royal Bourbon Mash
Specifically, Crown Royal is a Canadian whisky, and even though this technically uses a bourbon mashbill (64% corn, 31.5% rye, 4.5% malted barley), bourbon can only be made in America. Though the TTB originally approved the label, they reversed their decision and forced the brand to stop using the name 'Bourbon Mash'.

Seagrams uses maize, not corn . Although both crops are similar they have distinct differences.
Other grains are also used but rye is the predominant one.

Crown Royal is a rye based Whisky. Most Canadian products use rye as a main grain ingredient while the more well known bourbons use corn mash as well as other grains. To complicate it further most scotchs use malted barley as the main grain.

They are also spelled different. Rye based are called Whisky while bourbon and scotch are called Whiskey. Both are pronounced the same but there is no "e" in the Canadian spelling.

Goggle has several reasons for this. Just pick your favorite and go with that.

More thoughts on Tequila in the Dominican Republic

Lack of supply, even taking into account container logistics, is due more to drinking habits, preferences and the types and brands distributors decide to stock. It has NOTHING do with my user name. Using the logic proffered here by some individuals if it was a simple matter of distance then Scotch would not be so popular in the Dominican Republic given the distance that the juice in the bottle must travel in order to reach the shelves of the stores in the Dominican Republic.

Given the popularity of things "USA" in the Dominican Republic I am surprised Bourbon (which is a whisky) is not more popular here. I have found it is more of a lack of exposure. As the Dominicans I have shared my JD BIB with have all enjoyed it. Even told me they looked for it afterwards and could not find it.

When my friends are over and shown the bar, no one has ever picked Tequila as the sipper for the night. It is looked upon more as a party drink. In that case dredge sold in the stores are technically Tequila. But I wouldn't even use most of the brands in a cocktail. I would be embarrassed to serve it to anyone.
lots of JD no 7 and JD Apple...etc available here, wild turkey as well.
