  Walkerville... Ahh Walkerville. Discovered by the germans in 1810 who travelled to north america due to the rising costs of party ice in europe,They origionaly named the town "Mannschaft"(meaning team) but after in influx of gay tourists in search of a ledgendary appendage they chose to re-name it, the wiskey was origionally made just as something to have your ice with but became a ledgend all of its own.
  The town is also to blame for that charming "ayye" that canadians place on the end of every sentence i.e. "its cold out ayye" reffering to the external temperature of the day. it became part of there language after the month long bender that took place after conception of the remarkable wiskey see attached photo
