Barreled transfer from November 2016 Regardless of the "Premium Extra Aged" label, this is the regular base level Canadian Club. This is a blended Canadian whisky with no age statement. It has a dark amber color that appears to be heavy with added colorant. It no doubt is chill filtered and comes in at the legal minimum 40% ABV. The nose is harsh and immature. There is an initial blast of fennel that fades to overly sweet. Pancake syrup, butterscotch, oaky vanilla, toffee and caramel. There is also some honey. The sweetness screams inevitable hangover. The palate is overly sweet as well. Heavy butterscotch and syrup. Not very complex at all. There is also a metallic taste that again tells its lack of maturity. The mouthfeel is slightly oily, not bad. The finish is medium length and very sweet with a mild spice. This is definitely a mixing whisky and not meant to be consumed neat. The value is one of its only great qualities. I bought a 200mL bottle for the whopping price of $3.48 before taxes. Can't really knock that. If you are looking for a cheap mixer, this will do the job nicely. 2.25 If you are a fan of Canadian Club I urge you to try Forty Creek. It's like a small batch, craft version of CC. Much better quality and still very affordable.
