Seagram's VO

About the Seagram's VO

Seagram's VO is a blended Canadian whisky from Seagram's, one of the most recognised names in Canada. The blend belongs to a tradition that stretches back well over a hundred years. That long heritage is the heart of its story. Seagram's grew into a giant of Canadian whisky blending, and the VO label became one of its best-known products. Through the middle of the last century, it sat among the company's most popular bottles. The art of blending many grain whiskies into one balanced spirit is what Seagram's mastered. This is a Canadian whisky built for steady, everyday pleasure rather than show. The VO initials have inspired many tales over the years. In the glass, Seagram's VO leans light and fresh. A grassy, floral note opens things up, joined by a clean lemon brightness. Underneath sits soft vanilla and a gentle pine edge from the wood. There is a hint of green apple too, crisp and orchard-like. The character stays easy from start to finish. A faint bready warmth carries through, with a touch of cherry on the close. Nothing overwhelms; every part stays in proportion. This is the work of patient blending, balanced and unhurried. The body is light but never thin. Drink it neat and let it breathe in the glass. The fresh fruit notes and woody backbone come through best on their own. It suits an unfussy evening and rewards a slow pace. As blended Canadian whisky goes, Seagram's VO is a dependable companion with real history behind every pour.
