I live in South Carolina and for some reason a lot of bars/restaurants are ceasing to stock Canadian Club. I’ve been drinking CC&7 for almost 40 years and I don’t understand the sudden change in their stocking options. What gives? I’ve asked at several of my favorite spots and the only explanation is “not enough calls for CC”. I’m quite upset because I don’t have a substitute liquor that I enjoy.
I too live in South Carolina and I agree…..It’s either VO or 7 but my personal favorite is Canadian Club.
