And I was hooked!
Only non-Bourbon I've drank is Crown Royal. My understanding is it's about as close to Bourbon as one can get.
"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'."
