Canadian Club comes in seven varieties. All are 80 proof (40% alcohol by volume), unless otherwise noted.
- Canadian Club 6 Year Old / Canadian Club Premium
This is the most popular of the Canadian Club range, a basic brand. Often used as a mixer, the whisky typically matures for, as the name suggests, six years. It is sold in more than 150 countries. The product sold in Australia and New Zealand is 74 proof (37% abv).
- Canadian Club Reserve
The reserve line is matured for a decade, according to the company, to give it a richer flavor.
- Canadian Club Classic
A 12-year-old whisky.
- Canadian Club 100 Proof
Matured for six years and distilled to 100 proof (50% abv), supposedly to give it a stronger, richer flavor.
- Canadian Club Sherry Cask
Double matured, first in white oak barrels for at least eight years, then casks from the Sherry wine region (Spain). It is 82.6-proof (41.3% abv.
- Canadian Club Dry
Launched in Australia in April 2001, this ready-to-drink beverage is a pre-mixed blend of six-year old Canadian Club and ginger ale. It is 10 -proof (5% abv) and is sold in a 330ml bottle. This beverage is also available in New Zealand, also coming pre-mixed with cola.
Canadian Club is also produced in limited quantities in older agings (15 years and up) for special markets. For the whisky's 150th anniversary in 2008, a 30-year-old version has been released in a very limited bottling.

—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
