Canadian Club

Hiram Walker, a successful grain merchant, founded what would become Canadian Club in 1858.

The first distillery was established in Walkerville,Ontario, close to the exceptional grains in the area.In those early days, if you wanted whisky, you took your own jug or bottle to the local store and filled it from a generic barrel. Yet Canadian Club didn't wish to follow this trend, so began branding their barrels, as a sign of of quality and the name began to spread.

Canadians soon took a liking to the whisky, and came to love it as one of their own. In America, it was considered special, because it was sold exclusively in the finer gentlemen’s clubs of the era. Soon, the whisky came to be known by the name “Club Whisky.”t wasn’t long before Club Whisky began to cultivate popularity around the world. Eventually, its popularity began to affect the sale of American Bourbon in the United States. This forced the U.S. Government to require all Canadian distillers to put the country of origin on their label. And so Club Whisky became Canadian Club and a legacy was launched.

Today, Canadian Club whisky is enjoyed worldwide, and recognised for its assurance of quality, which can be tasted in every single bottle sold around the globe.
