J.P. Wiser's 10 Year Old
Three woods share this bottle. J.P. Wiser's 10 Year Old ages 10 years in new white oak, used American bourbon barrels, and used Canadian whisky casks. The fill is 750 mL at 40% alcohol.
Mashing, ageing and bottling sit in Windsor, Ontario, inside the Hiram Walker distillery, where Canadian grain starts the spirit and bourbon barrels are the import. Corby holds the brand, and Pernod Ricard is named on the site terms.
Honeycomb toffee and rye spice open the sip, then green apple, pear and allspice stay on. Brand notes point to an Old Fashioned.
