The Canadian Club 45 Year Old was featured on Day 11 of our 2023 KWM UBER Whisky Calendar. You can read Evan's blog post on this Canadian Whisky here.
The 5th release in the Canadian Club Chronicles range is a 45 year old, bottled at 50%, created from a parcel of stocks laid down in 1977. This is the final release in the series!
750ml ml Low StockEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Varnished wood furniture, Lemon Pledge, bookshelves full of leatherbound hardcovers, a tweed jacket brought out of the closet for the fall, apple juice, cherry pie with vanilla ice cream drizzled in butterscotch sauce, just-shucked ears of corn and fresh mint leaf.
Palate: More apple, cherry, and butterscotch notes along with oak spices, brown sugar, gingerbread cookies, cinnamon stick, and cooling mint.
Finish: Sweet and waxy on the fade with lingering spice notes and drying oak tannin.
Comment: This is the best of the series of 40+ Year Old Canadian Club releases to me, and much of that is thanks to the 50% ABV. The higher alcohol adds to the sweet decadence and the finish in a good way.
Producer Tasting Note
"Savor the enticing aromas of warm pear, baking spices, and toffee with a hint of leather. Then enjoy the taste of espresso crema balanced with wine poached pear and nutty praline."
