It is thanks to settlers from Scotland and Ireland that Canada, like America, can look back on a centuries-old whisky tradition. The beginnings were made in the second half of the 18th century, at that time with rye as the main ingredient of the mash. In 1884 the "Hiram Walker Club" from a distillery in Ontario went down in the annals as the first commercially marketed Canadian whisky. When Hiram Walker began supplying the USA in the 1880s and enjoyed great success there, the local whisky lobby forced him to label his products according to their origin - thus the name Canadian Club was born. Prohibition in the USA, which came into force in 1919, continued to benefit the brand, as Canadian Club whiskies were particularly sought after by smugglers, who at the time were making cross-border waterways unsafe. The Canadian Club Original is the brand's flagship and the best-selling whisky on the domestic market. It is distilled from a fermented mash that contains corn, rye, rye malt and barley malt. The exact composition is of course not revealed. Before the cask maturation in former Bourbon barrels, the blending of different distillates takes place.
