Canadian Club – 2 Bottles

Description

Canadian Club is the renowned Canadian flagship whisky is where most folks begin their whisky journey.  This is the one that started the legend. A giant of Canadian whisky since 1858, it’s aged longer than the 3 years required by law in oak barrels before bottling for the smoothest possible flavour.​​  Often overlooked as being cheap or below standard, this bottle really is a great entry point into the world of whisky.  Drinkable neat but more popular as a mixer on the rocks.

Nose:  Fresh and soft, with an almond nuttiness, hint of peppery spice.

Taste: Spicy and zesty, complimented with hints of rich oak and sweet vanilla, pleasant sweetness.

Finish: Clean, dry and lingering with subtle oak.

What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Canadian Club

Quote 1 “So so so smooth. This has become my respite after particularly tough days at work. Warming throughout, grassy, and with the rye spiciness hallmark of Canadian whiskies, this is very easy to drink and just bracing enough.

Pity those reviewers who are expecting the complexity of a single malt scotch, this is whisky meant for drinking.”

Quote 2 “What most of the others say — a smooth and sweetish whiskey w notes of barley (not cereal) and corn (a little) and nearly zero rye spice.   It may actually have smoothed from decades past. 

It is a tremendous value, the best of all whiskeys today by some margin, probably, meaning classy smoothness and elegance vs dollar spent.   It mixes extremely nicely from a splash to half w/ the best of the value bourbons, EW and Benchmark, but absolutely do not ever tell anyone you did that.   Would love to see it honestly (blind) compared w uppity whiskies of any sort. ”
