A Taste of Canada ~ Canadian Club

I have tried Canadian Club a couple or three times in my life. I am not a fan of Canadian Club or any whiskey except as a marinade for steaks.

Here's what the LCBO has to say about it:

Canadian Club Whisky
750 mL bottle | LCBO#: 42
$28.45

The legend of Canadian Club began in 1858 and grew to become one of the world's most iconic whiskies. Pouring a medium gold you will find aromas of roasted almond, vanilla and pepper; with spicy vanilla, cornflakes and a faint nutty flavour on a medium weight palate with a long finish.

Although Canadian Club was invented in the US, it was, and still is, made at the Hiram Distillery in Windsor, Ontario thanks to Prohibition. If you are interested in the history of this Canadian whiskey you should check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Club.
