I don't think I would try it with rye bread. Doesn't sound real appealing to me..

- Whisky from Scotland - Scotch Whisky
- Whisky from Ireland - Irish Whisky
- Whisky from USA - Bourbon Whisky (there are others, but this is the one that the US is famous for)
- Whisky from Canada - Canadian Whisky, often called Rye Whisky
Oddly enough, you don't have to actually use rye to call it Rye Whisky in Canada, all Canadian Whisky can be legally called Rye Whisky.
.
Then there's the controversy over whether it's "whisky" or "whiskey". Generally, the wonderful elixir made in the British Isles is called whisky, with no "e". That made in the US is called whiskey with an "e".
By general agreement, Canadians are allowed to use what ever spelling they wish, as nobody knows how to categorize Europeans living on this side of the Atlantic ;-)

Official Canadian spellings are generally in the British fashion with a minor set in US fashion.
Canadian English uses tire and curb and not tyre and kerb. We keep the ou and we use re instead of er. We often use z instead of s, though both are accepted, and c over s in defence of the realm. And we can practise in practice if you want, since verbs are Ss while nouns are Cs. We still double "L"s, so we sometimes get traveller's cheques and not traveler's checks. Tidbit instead of titbit, for example. ae and oe are often retained. And you can use the t for past tense when appropriate, or so I learnt
Not to mention the missing definite article when speaking of going to hospital, to university or school.
And I've included one Canadianism in a picture... just so everyone can have a chuckle at what we call "whole milk". And if that didn't give you enough of a chuckle, take a look at
this link. We have milk in Canada that is microfiltered. It adds shelf life and makes milk taste richer. And this is how one dairy told people that it tasted richer.
