    The Hiram Walker and Sons Head Office was the flagship of the Walker enterprise - home to Canada's…read morefamous "Canadian Club" whisky.. Completed in 1894, it was designed by Mason & Rice of Detroit, in the Renaissance style. The elegant exterior features terra cotta ornament and bronze gates and lanterns. The interior boasts mahogany paneling, ornate woodwork and imported marble. Guided tours of the Brand Center feature turn-of-the-century Italian architecture, formal whisky information session and tasting, film of whisky making process, and a visit to our Canadian art gallery with original works from the Group of Seven. Your one-hour tour concludes with a sit down sampling by your tour guide. (and who doesn't LOVE a free tasting of alcohol!) Our tour was led by a very fun gal who is a student at the local University. This was a first time tour where you could touch artifacts, sit on the furniture and truly feel the history. All in all it was a bit lengthy and some tongue in cheek humor especially when she showed us a "supposed" bullet hole shot by Al Capone back in the days of Prohibition. Still, a fun time and a nice way to spend part of a rainy day. The tasting was good...6 year, 10 year and 12 year samples were placed on tables as we concluded the tour of the building. More commonly referred to as Rye, we took in the nose of each, added a bit of water and sipped our way through all three. The best, in my non-whiskey drinking opinion, was the 12 year. It was by far the smoothest of all and didn't have such a strong aftertaste. Its a shame that the Walker family still doesn't have a part of this business....nice to hear the history and even nicer to taste the fruits of their labor.

    Great tour and fascinating information. My only issue was that the employees were very stand-of…read morefish and need a few lessons in customer service. Two employees were abrupt and unfriendly as we walked through the center. Otherwise it's a gorgeous building and grounds, you can have weddings and other fancy parties on their property. Interesting story to go along with Canadian Club.
