 Whiskey
is one of those spirits with multiple personalities: the sure sign of a
seasoned palate, a stodgy accessory for ascot-wearing octogenarians,
and a long-revered fix-it-all home remedy. However, it can be
intimidating for people who don’t know much about it, especially
because whiskey is, as a subject, incredibly complicated. Whether
you’re already an aficionado or simply a curious whiskey-drinkin’
wannabe, Canadian Club 30 Year is a stellar way to enjoy the wonders of grain-mash spirits. This very
limited edition whiskey (only 3000 bottles available!) was just
released in celebration of Canadian Club’s 150th anniversary, and at
around $200 a bottle, it is truly something special — luscious, golden,
and smooth, with light notes of brown sugar, caramel, and a hint of
freshly whittled oak. In fact, it’s so special that it’s tricky
to find. It’s so exclusive, so doggone VIP that there’s not even
information about it on Canadian Club’s website, giving the 30 Year the
kind of untouchable mystique usually enjoyed by swank A-listers. It’ s
the perfect way to pamper yourself when you want a relaxing night in,
and it will catapult you to whiskey superstardom in the awed eyes of
your friends when entertaining. Special order a bottle from Federal Wine & Spirits (29 State Street, Boston, 617.367.8605) or V. Cirace & Son (173 North Street, Boston, 617.227.3193) for a spectacularly sultry drinking experience.
