whisky review 107 - Canadian Club (Barrel Blended)

... an available, decent priced introduction to Canadian Whisky, ... multi-grain distillate designed for a sweet, pleasant rye-kissed Blend. It works well, acceptable for sipping but designed for a CC&7(with 7-Up soda), CC&G (with ginger ale) and as a Manhattan Cocktail (1/3 CC 2/3 Vermouth, crushed ice, shaken,(not stirred) and a cherry on top. (bitters optional)
... lovely.

i wish this was my job... getting hammered!

[ralfystuff]

@300Spartans1

very very gently, slighty, softly . . . hammered (more of a gentle tapping )

I just found an old C.C. just like the one you have there, but i don't know the age of it. Is there any easy way to tell?

@kevfromMA

best chance is e-mailing CC direct.  It will probably be fairly young if it is a standard bottle.

My father has 3 bottle's of Canadian Club whiskey from 1962, 1964 & 1972, and 2 bottle's of Crown Royal from 1968, and 4 bottle's of Seagram's V.O. 1972, I'd tried to get him to crack open at least one of the bottles, but he insists that he's saving them for a special occasion.

@Jurkowski1987

for some, the 'special occasion' ends up being their funeral wake ! .... so crack open these bottles while the sun shines !

[ralfystuff]

.... and thank you for that minding, ... and I hold both hands up to my error here. It's good to receive comments like yours as it reminds me to stay sharp when recording !!!

I'm gonna start watching all your vids. Not just becasue it has to do with whisky...but it's also a history lesson as well. I love it. thanks so much!

Look up Fastival Express 1970, a bunch of artists (Janis, grateful dead, buddy guy etc.) 6 days on a train across Canada, 3rd day; nothing left in the bar cart so… they raided a liquor store in Saskatoon were they bought a display bottle of Canadian Club… needless to say it was gone in one night.

Anyway keep these reviews coming, they are exceptionally good.

@ralfystuff I Definitely agree with you Ralfy, I got my parents a 25 y.o. Ben Nevis for their 25th wedding anniversary after seeing your great review, but I'm hoping my father crack open one of these 50 year old bottles to celebrate in October.
