The Prime Canadian.
The more you know about whiskey, the better for O.F.C 8 Year Old: The Prime Canadian.
For starters: New O.F.C. 8 Year Old is aged a full 2 years longer either than Canadian Club or Seagram's V.O. Thus, age alone, should make us better than either #1 or #2. But it took more than time to make O.F.C. "Prime".
The Truth About Age:
Any distiller, theirs or ours, will tell you, "...just spending time in a barrel doth not a great Canadian make!" Why? Because 2 year old Canadian rye whiskey is pale, harsh and unmatured. Around 12 it's darker and has begun to take on a heavy, "woody" taste.
8 Years is "Prime":
In between, at one point in time, Canadian whiskey is in, "The Prime of Life": Golden, mellow and full-bodied. But still light. In our opinion 8 year old is "Prime".That's why O.F.C. 8 Year Old is 8 years old, and only 8 years old.
"Prime" Is More Than Time:
Schenley puts a lot more into O.F.C. than time: Only prime, carefully chosen Canadian grains. Only deep-welled water. Every drop of OFC is distilled, not one-but 4 times-for extra purity of spirit. And, OFC is aged in 40 gallons, hand charred oak barrels.
Finally, We Blend After Aging:
Why after? To accurately control the quality and flavor of every drop and guarantee that OFC never differs from bottle to bottle. Or glass to glass. 120 separate taste tests ensure it. And the numbered Schenley guarantee on the back pf every bottle certifies to its "Prime" 8 year old quality.
This Is What New 8 Year Old OFC Is All About:
If you are now drinking and enjoying Canadian Club or Seagram's V.O. - both very fine products - we ask you to try our New OFC 8 Year Old. We believe you'll find it a very rewarding experience. One that might just change your whiskey drinking habits for life.
