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.
This is a smooth unpretentious whisky. No unusual or complex flavours, not fiery or peaty. A little sweetness and wo0diness in taste. Its one of those nostalgic drinks for me, used to get it at the pubs when I thought I was a sosphisticated young man, with a splash of Canada Dry ginger in it. Its not expensive so one can't expect the nuances of a single malt, its just a reliable drinkable tot. Got it from Master of Malt as it is rarely on the shop shelves for some reason. Saved me the travelling miles trying to source it.
Excellent Whisky. I drink it neat. It or my taste buds have changed over the years. It seems to be smoother with more oak taste but also sweeter. I prefer the 100% Rye. But the 1858 is one of my go-to whisky's.
This is a great drink. I was introduced to it after my bosses father left quite a lot in the office and said take what you want. He had plenty of it and said it’s all he drank. Now I know why, for the price you can’t beat it. It’s a great mellow flavour. No burn, just a nice easy drink. Get some you won’t regret it, even if it is for an every day tipple.
Hadn't tried this for a long time was pleasantly surprised nice and smooth and very good value
I started drinking Rye & Dry in Jersey in 1965....a beautiful drink. Nowadays I only have it with Canadian Club and Schweppes ginger ale and ...still a beautiful drink.
