Ok but not great
At first I didn't like it, then it became ok, and in the end I got tired of it.

4 stars!
For a downright inexpensive whisky, it is pretty darn good, smooth, sweet and pleasant. Sure, I enjoy some of the really expensive stuff more. However CC is "that" inexpensive whisky that actually tastes good enough to drink neat. Much like the elusive good cheap bottle of wine. Something that cannot be said of it's harsh and objectionable cheap competitors. I give it 4 stars, based on it's price point and quality.

Better than it should be
Tastes good, goes down easier than most of the other cheap whiskies. I was surprised to see many reviewers label it a mixing whisky. I drink everything neat and cheap, and this may skew my impression, but I find it smooth, sweet, and highly drinkable on it own.

This was the drink, this was the flavour to savour - I have a long held liking for Canadian Club; love to taint a glass with Angostura bitters, throw in some ice before a decent measure of the spirit topped up gently with less than the same of ginger ale.
I developed a taste for whisky, coming I think from the many times my mother made me a hot toddy whenever a sniffle was present. Still to this day I kill the germs in this way, a placebo perhaps but at the very least it distracts your body from whatever ails it.
So a general liking for the taste of an ancestry, of the very land from which it is was drawn, was enough to piqué my interest in some of the many variations including bourbons and the like.
Southern Comfort was a short lived alternative; too sickly sweet along with lemonade but missing any rawness when undiluted. Moreover Canadian club, its more discerning cousin, is the right amount of sweet with the kick that every gold liquid should provide. So despite the occasional foray into a slight variations of spirit, Canadian club is the one to which I will always return.
It was always a little on the expensive side to be a regular choice, considering the quantities I imbibed and the length of time it was generally savoured over, made it an unlikely everyday purchase. That undertaking was left to Grouse or an equivalent blend, but I liked the taste of whisky generally and couldn't justify the few extra pounds needed to spoil myself. The cheaper blends would suffice. And suffice they did.
Canadian Club is my desert island tipple though and the one I turn to in my many hours of need.
