Canadian Club Chronicles Issue no.1 Water of Windsor
(0.75l, 45%)
Unlike anything you have every had — from Canadian Club or anyone else for that matter.
Canadian Club wasn’t invented in Canada. The Whisky that would come to be known as Canadian Club was invented at a Detroit distilling company — Gooderham and Worts — in 1858. Hiram Walker was making cider Whisky from the back of his grocery store nearby and saw the potential, so the two companies merged.
When the dark times of Prohibition arrived, Walker picked up the entire operation and moved it across the lake — just across the Canadian boarder—and changed the product name to what it is now. He even built an entire town called Walkerville so that his employees could live near the new plant. Great story right? Now owned by Beam Suntory, they stay focused on Whisky and currently have four different editions in their range.
This is NOTHING like the normal Canadian Club Whiskey served in bars all around the world. This is a very prestigious and interesting series of releases called CC Chronicles. It’s a limited edition of Canadian Club Whiskey barreled in 1977 — making the spirit a full 41 years old. It is blended with a bit of Cognac, Rye, and Sherry. Note that we did not say in finishing barrels. Rather a small amount of those actual spirits is blended in the Whiskey.
Every time we think we’ve tasted it all, along comes CC Chronicles Issue no.1 Water of Windsor. And man… it’s a GOOD sipping dram indeed.
