Canadian Club 1950s

After more than 60 years in cask this dignified old-time Canadian Club flaunts its age with wood and faintly bitter oak tannins. Initially the nose is closed then opens into cedar with slightly musty wet paper and just hints of fruit. The fruit is big but undefined on the palate with overtones of brisk Epsom salts sweet sandalwood and blistering spices. Teasing hints of varnish clean wood and oat flakes linger long into the finish. (Australia only) A$195
