In 1924, the younger generation of Bronfmans built their first real distillery in the Montreal suburb of Lasalle. The Lasalle distillery, coupled with a Waterloo, Ontario distillery, called Seagrams, which they purchased in 1928, quickly became the cornerstones of one of the world's largest distilling empires. But despite the eventual pan-global network of Bronfman-owned distilleries, it was the Seagram name that stuck and remains most firmly associated with Canada. In 1934, as Seagrams, the Bronfman brothers acquired Maryland Distillers Inc. of Relay, Maryland and immediately set to improving the quality of its whisky. At the time, Maryland Distillers was selling un-aged American spirit, calling it Lord Calvert Whiskey. It was named after George Calvert, a 17th-century Englishman who played a pivotal role in the establishment of Maryland, USA. The name itself invokes a sense of history and prestige, setting it apart from its competitors. Sam Bronfman was determined to make low-quality, Prohibition-era whisky a thing of the past, so he immediately began adding Canadian whisky to Lord Calvert to improve the flavor, until properly-aged American distillates would become available. In 1939, with supplies of aged American whisky on the rise, blenders at Seagrams Baltimore plant completely re-formulated Lord Calvert as a premium American blend. Over the years that followed, the Calvert label, and the whisky itself, went through numerous iterations and was sold as Lord Calvert, Calvert Special, Calvert Reserve, and Calvert Extra. Then, in 1964 Bronfman and McLauchlan developed a 100% all-Canadian version called Lord Calvert Canadian. Thanks to stringent labeling laws we can be confident that Lord Calvert Canadian is, and always was, the real thing - real Canadian whisky, all of it aged for a minimum of three years. After being distilled, aged and blended in Laval, the whisky was shipped in bulk to Seagrams plants in the United States where it was bottled and sold by Calvert Distillers. In 1991, Seagrams sold the Lord Calvert Canadian brand to Jim Beam so Seagrams could shift its focus to its premium brands, including Crown Royal. As a result, Calvert Canadian is now a Beam Global brand. Questions? Message us. We will respond as quickly as possible.
