Whether it’s a CC & Dry or our Classic 1858, there is something for every occasion. It all began in 1858 when Hiram Walker, a successful grain merchant and visionary entrepreneur, set out to create a whisky that would embody the essence of Canadian craftsmanship.

In those early days, if you wanted whisky, you took your own jug or bottle to the local store and filled it from a generic barrel. Hiram Walker was proud of the whisky he distilled and wanted to give whisky drinkers the option to purchase his whisky by name, so he branded the barrels with our name as a signature of confidence and the reassurance of quality.

With meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication, Walker perfected his blend, aging it in white oak barrels to achieve a harmony of flavors unlike any other creating a whisky that was different, smooth and easy to drink, a whisky that consumers could order by name.
