A toast to Canadian Club Chronicles: Just recently, Canada’s oldest whisky is now considered the country’s best, having taken top honours at the 11th annual non-profit Canadian Whisky Awards. The award was given after nine independent whisky experts named the 43-year-old Canadian Club Chronicles as Canadian Whisky of the Year (Canadian Club 43 also took top honours as Connoisseur Whisky of the Year).
The independent panel of whisky experts, made up of both women and men tasters who truly understand Canadian whisky, selects the winners after tasting each whisky blind.
