Let’s delve into the Canadian Club 6 Year Old Whisky, a classic label with a rich history.
Canadian Club has a fascinating backstory. It began with Hiram Walker, an American whiskey and cider maker who found himself in Windsor, Ontario, driven there by the temperance movement of the mid-19th century. Walker’s Canadian Club dates back to 1858, and the Windsor suburb of Walkerville is even named after him. Initially known as “Club Whisky,” the label officially adopted the name “Canadian Club” in 1890. During the Prohibition era, Canadian Club flowed like a river through Chicago speakeasies, making it a favorite during Al Capone’s reign.
