Canadian Club 1858 Original Blended Canadian Whisky

Canadian Club 1858 Original Blended Canadian Whisky is the flagship and foundational expression of the iconic Canadian Club brand, famous for its long history and smooth, approachable style. It's often where people begin their journey into Canadian whisky.   

Key Characteristics:

• Historic Brand: Established in 1858 by Hiram Walker, Canadian Club is one of the oldest and most globally recognized Canadian whiskies. It gained significant fame during Prohibition in the U.S. as a highly sought-after (and often smuggled) spirit.  
• Blended Canadian Whisky: A blend of carefully selected whiskies made from various grains including rye, rye malt, barley malt, and corn.   
• "Blended at Birth": A distinctive production method where the different grain distillates are blended together before aging in oak barrels. This unique process is said to allow the flavors to marry and integrate more harmoniously during maturation, contributing to its renowned smoothness.   
• Aging: Aged longer than the legally required 3 years in oak barrels, for at least 6 years, ensuring a smooth and mellow flavor.   
• Proof: 40% ABV (80 proof), making it very easy to drink and highly versatile.   
• Global Reach: A giant of Canadian whisky, distributed and enjoyed in over 150 countries worldwide.

Tasting Notes:

• Colour: Bright gold.   
• Aroma: Fresh and soft, with an almond nuttiness and a hint of peppery spice. You might also detect notes of vanilla and light oak.   
• Taste: Spicy and zesty, complimented by hints of rich oak and sweet vanilla, providing a pleasant sweetness. The "blended at birth" character often results in a very integrated, clean palate.   
• Finish: Clean, dry, and lingering with subtle oak.   

Awards & Recognition:

• Gold Medal at the SIP Awards (multiple years, including 2022, 2023, 2024).   
• Consumer Choice Award at the SIP Awards (multiple years, including 2022, 2023, 2024).   
• Gold Medal at the ISC Awards (2022).   
• Bronze Medal at the World Whisky Awards (2023).   

Overall Impression:

Canadian Club 1858 Original is celebrated for its unwavering smoothness, versatility, and accessible flavor profile. It's not a highly complex or bold whisky, but rather a consistently enjoyable and reliable option that excels in cocktails, on the rocks, or as a straightforward sipper. Its long history, consistent quality, and approachable nature make it a staple in many liquor cabinets and a popular choice for those just starting their whisky journey.
