The second season of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" series debuts at 9 p.m. this Sunday, and Canadian Club has come up with a special package to go with the event.

It consists of a limited edition 750ml bottle of their six-year-old Canadian whisky and a silver flask with the “Boardwalk Empire” logo etched onto it. Suggested retail price is $13.99.

In addition, the Windsor, Ontario, distiller -- whose whisky was secretly smuggled across the border to Detroit during Prohibition, the period in which "Boardwalk Empire" is set -- has come up with several cocktail recipes.
