Canadian Club Invitation 15 Year Sherry
$91.99
This 15-year-old Canadian Club bottling is the first in a series which amps up the sherry cask influence on the iconic Canadian Whisky brand.
42% ABV
Producer Description
"First in the series, this one-time release whisky has all the hallmark notes of CC Classic 12 YO elevated to 15 years with the secondary aging in Oloroso sherry casks. The results are rich aromas of toffee, spice and subtle sweetness with warm and creamy flavours with mellow wood on the palate. Sip neat or over ice."
Canadian Club Invitation 18Yr High Proof
$91.99
Like the 15 Year Old Canadian Club, this is also part of the Invitation Series and is apparently a limited release. It is bottled at an impressive 58% ABV, which must be the highest proof ever for a bottling of Canadian Club.
Producer Description: "Enjoy the smooth, well balanced taste of CC Classic aged for 18 years, bottled at a higher proof for a full bodied Canadian whisky."

Canadian Club 100% Rye
$28.99
Although bottled under the Canadian Club moniker, the 100% Rye is made right here in Calgary, Alberta by the legendary Alberta Distillers or ADL. 40%.
Producer Description
"This is a whisky made for those who love rye. It was created in the heart of Alberta’s unforgiving rye country, by a team who have spent the last 60 years mastering the art of distilling with rye. This whisky is truly unique and deliciously distinct, with caramel and oak notes up front, followed by a spicy finish. It’s so good, you’ll want to sip it neat. And so versatile, you’ll want to use it in all rye-forward classic cocktails."
JP Wiser's 42 Year Canadian Whisky
$509.99
Shots fired! This is the JP Wiser's 42 Year Old answer to the Canadian Club Chronicles series of 40+ year old Canadian Whisky. Oddly enough, the whisky for both come from the 165+ year old Hiram Walker distillery in Windsor, Ontario. The Wiser's 42 Year Old was distilled in 1982 and bottled at a respectable 52% ABV.
Producer Description
"The new whisky produced back in 1982 was 90 per cent double column distilled grain whisky and 10 per cent single column produced rye. There was nothing unusual there: These were pretty typical, tried-and-true beginnings for a Canadian whisky. But this spirit was destined for greatness thanks to an unusual and special maturation.
First, the sheer length of it is unique. Not many Canadian whiskies have been aged for decades and decades. Wiser’s was doing something long overdue: creating an opportunity to showcase how the greatness of Canadian whisky can reveal itself in a high-aged expression — creating a whisky that’s both ready for the world stage and a source of pride here at home.
Second, the whisky is aged in Canadian oak barrels, ex-bourbon casks and Speyside single malt casks — a recipe for complexity and depth of flavour.
Third, the distillery and aging warehouses stand near the banks of the Detroit River, where climate conditions — the hot, humid summers and cold winters that the Great Lakes region is known for — bring out unique flavours in whisky as it ages."
