  1. This is a great article, but there are a number of urban legends that your guide passed on that have no base in reality. As a former employee, and a student of local history, I can tell you with certainty that there were in fact no tunnels leading under the Detroit River from the Walker facility. The engineering for a secret tunnel would have been impossible, and the costs would have been incredibly prohibitive. Alcohol was moved by boat, which is both cheap and easy at that time given that the plant was located along the river. The history of Hiram Walker’s is incredible enough on its own without the brand ambassadors indulging in such silly stories and present them as fact.

  2. Very interesting! So that one spot in the basement of the building that seemed to be pointing toward the river that’s been blocked off, and always seems to be a bit on the damp side with a puddle of water, is a nothing burger? I’d visited it several times over the years that I was working on promoting Canadian Club, and it always seemed to have a little damp spot.
