Beam Suntory has added Canadian Club 8 Year Old whisky to its portfolio.
The liquid has a higher rye and barley content than the Original 1858, and is distilled and matured in char-treated American white oak barrels to create a rich, smooth flavour.
Canadian Club 8 Year Old brings a more refined and mature taste, according to the company.
It will also be the first of Canadian Club’s full bottled spirits to see a packaging refresh which helps consumers better navigate the range.
Through the introduction of 8 Year Old, the range of age statement products was increased.
The latest release responds to demand for a lighter, smoother drink.
With notes of English toffee and soft oak, Canadian Club 8 Year Old has a warm and lingering dry finish with an enduring presence of caramel and vanilla.
The recommended retail price for the new variety is $50.
