The whisky quickly became a favourite on the back bars of gentlemen's clubs in the US and Canada, earning it the nickname 'Club Whisky'. Walker registered the name as a trademark in 1882, and the word 'Canadian' was added in 1889. Hiram Walker aged his whisky for five years, an unusually long period at the time.
