J.P. Wiser's Deluxe

CANADA is pressed into the glass. J.P. Wiser's Deluxe is a 750 mL bottle at 40% alcohol, with a light rye note, and dried fruit and caramel show in the aroma.

Grain selection through bottling happens in Windsor, Ontario, at the Hiram Walker plant, where Corby Spirit and Wine, a Canadian firm, took the brand in 1918. Pernod Ricard shows up on the review form and the site terms. The label lists Canadian whisky casks and American bourbon casks.

Toffee and oak follow on the tongue. Dr. Don Livermore would pour this glass to show where the house style began. Serve it on ice.
