| General info : | | Walker's was a brand of bourbon.
It was marketed by Hiram Walker & Sons, Inc., Peoria, Illinois, USA.
Hiram Walker was the Detroit grocer who created Canadian Club whiskey in the 19th century, at his distillery across the border in Canada. When Prohibition ended in 1933, Hiram Walker & Sons, Inc., then owned by a person named Harry Hatch, decided to reenter the newly-legal U.S. market.
Their Peoria distillery made Walker’s DeLuxe and Ten High, both straight bourbons; Imperial Whiskey, a popular blend; and other Hiram Walker products.
Peoria paid off for about 35 years, until the American whiskey market suddenly tanked in the late 60s. The distillery closed in 1981. Ten High production shifted to Kentucky. Eventually, Hiram Walker was sold for parts and Ten High was acquired by Chicago’s Barton Brands. | |
