It is official: Canada's oldest whisky is also its best. On February 25, 2021, nine independent whisky experts named 43-year-old Canadian Club Chronicles as Canadian Whisky of the Year at the eleventh annual Canadian Whisky Awards. Canadian Club 43 also took top honours as Connoisseur Whisky of the Year.

"This is truly a remarkable whisky, so deserving of the accolade," said Davin de Kergommeaux, head judge and founder of the awards. "Canadian Club has been shortlisted for best whisky in past years, and for 2021, the judges awarded Canadian Club 43-year-old the highest overall score among over 130 Canadian whiskies entered in the competition."

Other major winners include Pendleton Director's Reserve which was named Connoisseur Whisky of the Year in the multi-market category. J. P. Wiser's Triple Barrel Rye, which is a US exclusive, took home Sippin' Whisky of the Year in the export-only category, while Gibson's Finest Bold was named Sippin' Whisky of the Year for the Canadian market.

J.P. Wiser's 22-Year-Old Port Cask Finished claimed Cask Strength Whisky of the year, and the sensational Lot No. 40 Dark Oak was named Best New Whisky.

Windsor's Hiram Walker Distillery is the 2021 Distillery of the Year, while Devine Distillery and Winery in Saanich, British Columbia was awarded Artisanal Distillery of the Year. Devine distiller, Ken Winchester received accolades for Lifetime Achievement in distilling. Shelter Point Distillery from Campbell River BC and Two Brewers from Whitehorse Yukon tied for Best Single Malt.
