Greetings from Denmark! I've bought a Canadian whiskey to see if it's possible to make good cocktails with in place of Bourbon. That is probably my most difficult boycott of them all... Man's gotta have his alcohol.

IIRC it was a baker couple from Wien (Vienna), that moved to Denmark and started making them. So Danes actually call danish pastry wienerbrød, meaning "Viennese bread".
