Thanks to ‘Whisky in the 6’ for the sample. Canadian Club 40 Year Old, 45% ABV, $250 CAD Nose: Big hit of caramel and vanilla, honey, lemon grass, slight rye spice. Taste: Again, caramel and vanilla, rye, pepper, and apple pie filling. Finish: Medium/long, very good viscosity, caramel and spice notes linger. Thoughts: 7,000 total bottles, 100% Corn whisky aged in ex-rye barrels, oldest expression … Continue reading Canadian Club 40 Year Old
Last night I was invited, as part of the Toronto Whisky Society, to a launch event for Canadian Club 40. It was completely free. I disclose this to be clear. Also, as a note, prior to the tasting I had a maple bacon old fashioned. In order to mitigate any odd flavours coming in, I made sure to talk to other whisky geeks after the tasting, and… Continue reading Canadian Club 40
2023 UPDATES UNDER EACH ENTRY BELOW It seems a lot of Ontario residents are looking for advice on which whiskies to buy! Our Best Scotch Whisky under $100 and Best Bourbons/American Ryes under $61 are two of our most popular posts here and continue to be viewed daily, and people asked for a similar list of Canadian whisky LCBO deals. Canadian whisky was considered by some … Continue reading Best Canadian Whiskies under $65 at the LCBO
Last weekend I went to Windsor, spent some time with friends drinking bourbon and scotch, visiting the Hiram Walker Distillery and Wolfhead Distillery, and also stopped in to the Canadian Club Brand Centre, which shut down public tours as of March 31st. The property is actually owned by Pernod-Ricard, and I guess Beam Suntory decided to stop paying money to its competitor, despite the historical value of … Continue reading Pre-shutdown visit to the Canadian Club Brand Centre & a couple of reviews
Thanks to /u/Boyd86 for the sample on this one. Requested from /u/Jolarbear and /u/LecheConCarne I’m not going to lie: When I first saw Canadian Club 20, I compared it to putting makeup on a pig. Or the reason why Dustin Hoffman did Tootsie, if you want to be less mean. No matter how hard you try, there’s only so far you can go with it. That’s… Continue reading Canadian Club 20
Thanks to /u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH for this sample. Mad Men. Some of us watched it. I probably should have, since I’m in Marketing and it would make me feel cool before breaking down in tears at what really happens in my life. Just kidding: I cry anyways. However I didn’t watch it. Why? Because he drank Canadian Club. That’s not actually the reason, that’s just one I’m… Continue reading Canadian Club (1969)
So, after having a light allergic reaction, it’s time to get back on the horse and have some whisky. And what better whisky to have after your stomach’s been tied up in knots than one you’ve been dreading. Yup, it’s time to review Canadian Club Premium, because I’m a masochist. Alright, alright, I know. Don’t go into a review with doubts. But how could I?… Continue reading Canadian Club Premium
So for my Xmas Secret Santa swap, I was lucky enough to be paired up with /u/muaddib99 . I had specified that I wanted all mystery drams of whisky I haven’t had before. So after he tried to sneakily see when I would be home, I figured out we were each others Secret Santa Swappers, had a good laugh, and he dropped off 4 mystery drams… Continue reading Wiser’s Legacy / Canadian Club 100% Rye [Mystery Reviews]
Mad Men, am I right? It’s a show about a guy who, if you knew him in real life, you’d probably avoid the ever-loving-fuck out of him. It’s from a time where women weren’t treated correctly and all the things that Tumblr purports about now we’re wild and on display. Yet, for all that horribleness, there was a jump in sales of Canadian Club. Because… Continue reading Canadian Club Small Batch Classic 12
Here’s my 5th review, Canadian Club Sherry Cask 8 year, Batch No: SC-020. While I am Canadian, I normally don’t drink much rye unless it has been mixed into a Manhattan. However a few weeks ago there was quite a few Canadian whiskies reviewed, and I thought I’d review one that my Uncle gave me (he didn’t like it, so I ended up with it).… Continue reading Canadian Club Sherry Cask 8
