Step back in time with this vintage bottling of Canadian Club 6 Year Old Canadian Whisky, a fine example of classic Canadian whisky craftsmanship from the late 20th century. Distilled at the renowned Hiram Walker & Sons distillery in Windsor, Ontario, this expression reflects a smooth, mellow style that defined Canadian whisky throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Aged a full six years in seasoned oak barrels, this bottling was originally intended for both domestic enjoyment and international export, especially prized in markets like the U.S. and Japan. Canadian Club’s signature blend of rye, malted barley, and corn delivers a whisky that is elegant, easy-drinking, and unmistakably refined.

Tasting Notes (Circa 1980s/1990s Bottling):

Appearance: Golden amber with a light copper hue, showing clarity and maturity consistent with mid-aged Canadian whiskies of the era.

Nose: Light and fragrant with classic Canadian smoothness. Notes of toffee, light vanilla, green apple, and soft oak spice. Hints of baking spice, dried grain, and a touch of honey emerge with time in the glass.

Palate: Clean and approachable. A smooth blend of light caramel, butterscotch, and mild rye spice. Subtle undertones of almond, oak, and a touch of citrus zest give the whisky character without overpowering the palate.

Finish: Crisp, medium in length, with a lingering warmth of oak, white pepper, and faint vanilla bean.

Serving Recommendation:

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, though its smooth profile also makes it excellent for classic whisky cocktails like a Manhattan, Whisky Highball, or Whisky Sour.
