This whisky was featured on Day 4 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
When this was originally released it was the oldest whisky ever bottled by Canadian Club, surpassing the prior year's 40 Year; since then they bottled 42, 43, 44, and 45 year olds! The first whisky in the Canadian Club Chronicles series was distilled in 1977 and bottled at 45%, 41 years later. 96pts Whisky Advocate.
Producer Description
"Introducing Chronicles Edition 41 Years Old, the inaugural release from 2018. Dubbed "Water of Windsor," paying homage to Canadian Club's birthplace in Windsor, Ontario. Crafted from a 100% corn recipe, with undisclosed traces of Cognac, rye, and sherry blended in (allowed by Canadian law). At launch, it held the title of the oldest Canadian whisky ever. Explore its depths."

Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Freshly harvested grain, honey drizzled on poached pears, linseed oil, graham crackers, oak spice, camomile tea, shredded coconut, and some artfully torched peaks of meringue on top of a lemon tart.
Palate: Soft, grain driven, yet decadent. Honey and lemon drops, apple pie à la mode, upside-down pineapple cake with coconut, along with more camomile tea.
Finish: Soft but not underwhelming. Gentile apples, pears, and wood spice on the fade make you want to take another sip.
Comment: Has time in the bottle improved this whisky? I recall enjoying the CC 41 when I first tasted it years ago, but either I am in an outrageously forgiving mood or this bottle is even better now than I recall it being in 2018/2019.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Aroma: caramel and toasted oak harmonizes with spiciness and a slight vanilla sweetness.
Taste: notes of dark plum and vanilla balanced with caramel, oak and a rye spiciness; complex but smooth & satisfying.
Finish: warm and lingering.

"Recently, a new “oldest Canadian whisky ever,” appears every year. In 2018, the honor goes to Canadian Club. Cedar lumber, fresh apricots, hints of bonfire, and sweet applewood on the nose. On the palate it’s butter tarts with vanilla, waves of pepper, pears, peaches, bonfire notes, and hints of pipe tobacco. Crisp, clean, and slightly bigger than Canadian Club 40 year old, the 41 is woodsy, silky, and mouth filling. (2,472 bottles for U.S.) —Davin de Kergommeaux"

Like the 15 Year Old Canadian Club, this is also part of the Invitation Series and is apparently a limited release. It is bottled at an impressive 58% ABV, which must be the highest proof ever for a bottling of Canadian Club.
Producer Description: "Enjoy the smooth, well balanced taste of CC Classic aged for 18 years, bottled at a higher proof for a full bodied Canadian whisky."

The Canadian Club 45 Year Old was featured on Day 11 of our 2023 KWM UBER Whisky Calendar. You can read Evan's blog post on this Canadian Whisky here.
The 5th release in the Canadian Club Chronicles range is a 45 year old, bottled at 50%, created from a parcel of stocks laid down in 1977. This is the final release in the series!

This 15-year-old Canadian Club bottling is the first in a series which amps up the sherry cask influence on the iconic Canadian Whisky brand.
42% ABV
Producer Description
"First in the series, this one-time release whisky has all the hallmark notes of CC Classic 12 YO elevated to 15 years with the secondary aging in Oloroso sherry casks. The results are rich aromas of toffee, spice and subtle sweetness with warm and creamy flavours with mellow wood on the palate. Sip neat or over ice."

Shots fired! This is the JP Wiser's 42 Year Old answer to the Canadian Club Chronicles series of 40+ year old Canadian Whisky. Oddly enough, the whisky for both come from the 165+ year old Hiram Walker distillery in Windsor, Ontario. The Wiser's 42 Year Old was distilled in 1982 and bottled at a respectable 52% ABV.
Producer Description
"The new whisky produced back in 1982 was 90 per cent double column distilled grain whisky and 10 per cent single column produced rye. There was nothing unusual there: These were pretty typical, tried-and-true beginnings for a Canadian whisky. But this spirit was destined for greatness thanks to an unusual and special maturation.
First, the sheer length of it is unique. Not many Canadian whiskies have been aged for decades and decades. Wiser’s was doing something long overdue: creating an opportunity to showcase how the greatness of Canadian whisky can reveal itself in a high-aged expression — creating a whisky that’s both ready for the world stage and a source of pride here at home.
Second, the whisky is aged in Canadian oak barrels, ex-bourbon casks and Speyside single malt casks — a recipe for complexity and depth of flavour.
Third, the distillery and aging warehouses stand near the banks of the Detroit River, where climate conditions — the hot, humid summers and cold winters that the Great Lakes region is known for — bring out unique flavours in whisky as it ages."
