Distillery Info
A man by the name of Hiram Walker, a successful grain merchant, was the founder of what is now known world wide as Canadian Club located in Ontario, Canada.
Believing their whisky was different, they branded their barrels with their name so it was easily recognisable to all who were beginning to notice them.
Canadians took pride in their very own whisky before the Americans also came to the party, considering it to be for the gentry who would visit exclusive gentlemen clubs, fast becoming known as the ‘Club Whisky’.
It wasn’t long before the whisky gained so much popularity, thus taking the shine off local American made bourbon, that the American government bought in the rule that at all spirits must be named with their country of origin, hence the genesis of Canadian Club Whisky.
A showcase of the Canadian Club range, the Canadian Club 20 Year Old Blended Canadian Whisky adds another level of flavour to the already characteristically smooth taste Canadian Club is known for.
