Canadian Club Rye

The history of Canadian Club Rye is colorful to say the least. Nothing says it better than their slogans, “some men had to break the law to drink it, you just have to break the seal” and, “what do seven generations of gangsters, smugglers, politicians, admen, and guys like you have in common? Canadian Club, you’re in good company.” This is a drink to break laws for (though we neither suggest nor condone that). It was what the Godfather had in his glass when he said “I’m going make him an offer he can’t refuse”. Do you know what Al Capone was drinking while he tilted his fedora and adjusted his pinstripe suit? Canadian Club Rye. Even Don Draper sipped it as he mulled over his latest dramatic life event, and JFK set it down as he was enraptured by Marilyn (it’s good but it’s not that good, I mean come on, it’s Marilyn). Is any of this real? Probably not, but Canadian Club Rye is the bottle you picture on Canadian Club launches Canadian Club Chairman's Select 100% Rye. (CNW Group/Beam Suntory Inc.)the gangster’s nightstand, the adman’s hotel room dresser, on Rockefeller’s mahogany desk.

 

This taste is hard to put into words, but we’ll try our best for you. At first glance, we are greeted with the all too deliciously familiar shade of amber. Then, it’s love at first sniff. The toasted grains bring us home to amber waves of

grain, rippling in the sunlight. The second whiff washes over us in a wave of vanilla. The simplicity of the smell makes us even more excited for the taste! As we bring the glass to our lips, a third layer of smell wafts over the rim of the vessel. This time, it’s subtle hints of oak. Taking in the drink makes us giddy and it does not disappoint. Spices mix in a cloud of sultry heaven, slowly bringing out notes of caramel. A symphony of vanilla and clove begin to churn into an unforgettable aftertaste that makes us go in for sip number two. Don’t bother putting the bottle away, friends, you’ll be on your second class before you know it!

It’s just the right glue to piece together an incredible story filled with depth and strength. It gives any room an air of trouble and authority. From its first days in the barrels in 1858, to the Hide A Case advertising campaign in 1967, all the way up to today, this liquor has left its mark on the world—and it should really be in your glass. Be sure to reserve a bottle soon at your favorite Payless. Come on, that inner troublemaker is just dying to get out and make history.
