Canadian Club® 1858
This is the whisky that started it all. Originally created in 1858, it was a global phenomenon before the turn of the century even began. And still sticks to a very similar process to the original recipe. Enjoy the whisky that launched a legend in the simple cocktail, neat, or on the rocks, or with your favorite mixer.
Canadian Club® Reserve 9 Year Old

Canadian Club® Classic 12 Year Old
If you’re looking for a whisky with depth, more complexity and a bit more personality, look no further than Canadian Club® Classic 12 Year- Old. This whisky is the shining example of Canadian Club® craftsmanship, aged four times the industry standard. This creates a flavorful, well-balanced whisky perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks.
Canadian Club® 100% Rye
This is a whisky made for those who love rye. It was created in the heart of Alberta’s unforgiving rye country, by a team who have spent the last 60 years mastering the art of distilling with rye. This whisky is truly unique and deliciously distinct, with caramel and oak notes up front, followed by a spicy finish. It’s so good, you’ll want to sip it neat. And so versatile, you’ll want to use it in all rye-forward classic cocktails.

DEDICATION TO
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Creates an exceptionally
rich and smooth whisky.
A process 150 years
in the making
The Canadian Club distillery first opened its doors in 1858. Today, over 150 years later, the production process for our blended whiskies remains mostly unchanged, with the same dedication to creating consistently delicious and smooth whisky. Click the steps to learn more.
QUALITY GRAINS
Our process begins with some of the finest grains in the world. We use corn, rye and barley in our blended whiskies.
DISTILLATION
We distill three different types of mash - that ultimately make up our blends:
- 100% corn, distilled through a continuous still
- 100% rye, distilled through a continuous still
- Mix of Rye, Rye malt, and Barley malt, distilled through both a continuous still and a pot still
Barrel Aging
Each whisky is aged in either first-fill bourbon barrels (which are charred, white American oak barrels) or Canadian whisky barrels. These different barrels bring out different flavoring notes in the final whisky, and also gives it its rich, mellow, oaky flavor. We wait up to 12 years depending on the final product, before blending the specific CCTM expressions.
Blending and Bottling
Our three different aged whiskies are blended to taste creating the unique final taste profiles of CCTM 1858, Classic® 12 Year Old, and Reserve 9 Year Old. The blends each go through meticulous taste assessments, to ensure consistency and quality of taste.
Making the Best Rye
When we set about to create a 100% rye whisky, we knew we wanted the best rye. So we made sure to go to the source—our sister company, Alberta Distiller’s Limited, in the heart of rye country—to create the highest quality rye whisky. Rye is notorious for being very gummy and hard to work with during the fermentation stage. Not many distilleries are willing to tackle it. But Alberta Distillers has been perfecting the craft of making excellent rye whisky for over 70 years. Click the steps to learn more.
The BEST INGREDIENTS
Alberta is the perfect place for making rye whisky. The dry, arid, desert-like region and clear glacier-born waters of the Rockies help bring out the fuller, more flavorful rye grain.
DISTILLATION
We distill two different rye whiskies that make up our 100% rye whisky:
- 100% rye grain, distilled through a column still
- 100% rye grain, distilled through both a column still and a pot still
Barrel Aging
Both rye whisky distillates are aged in three different barrel types to bring out subtle differences in tasting notes—new charred white American oak barrels, first-fill bourbon barrels, and Canadian whisky barrels. Then, the harsh environment and extreme changes in temperature helps with our maturation process.
Blending and Bottling
Our age-based whiskies are then blended to taste to create the unique final taste profile of Canadian Club® 100% Rye. The whisky is compared against a taste profile gold standard to ensure the highest quality and depth of flavor.
