The renowned Canadian whisky, married in white oak barrels. Canadian Club was founded by whisky mogul Hiram Walker.
The nose is of medium-body with notes of barley sugar and aniseed, notes of cut grass and fennel, a hint of straw and a vegetal freshness. The palate is quite sweet and gentle. There are notes of winter spice and dark sugars, a touch of rum. The finish is of medium-sweetness and of medium-length.
I keep coming back to Canadian Club Original 1858.......of course you can spend more, but if you're going to enjoy it mixed with Canada Dry Ginger Ale, why bother? This is my go to drink and if you add just a dash of lime juice or lemon juice, you just can't beat this! The taste is superb and for the price I just don't see how you can go wrong.
At first I didn't like it, then it became ok, and in the end I got tired of it.
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.
Suave, Dulce y con algo Vegetal, Bueno para los Mix.
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.
