J P Wiser’s Rolls Out New Whisky Series
A renowned Canadian whisky brand, J P Wiser’s, has released a new series called The Decades Series. The collection features one of the oldest expressions yet from the distillery – a 42-year-old spirit.
According to a press release from the distillery, the series highlights the brand’s 165-year history of whisky-making. The post proclaimed its ‘unwavering commitment to heritage, innovation, and excellence’
Through its Decades Series, J.P. Wiser’s is expanding into the premium spirits sector with its 42-Year-Old Rye Whisky. The clock stopped on this expression which has been aged for decades in special barrels in Lakeshore.
The 42-year-old expression was distilled in 1982 when the Canadian whisky industry was suffering from a depression. During that time, the distillery’s founder was moving the distillery to its present location in Windsor.
J P Wiser’s The Decades Collection
“This extraordinary whisky is a celebration of craftsmanship and the pursuit of perfection,” said Dr Don Livermore, master blender. “We are thrilled to introduce the 42-Year-Old as the inaugural release of The Decades Series. Every aspect of this creation embodies the artistry and tradition that defines J P Wiser’s.”
It has aromas of ‘green apple, crème brûlée, vintage oak, orange tea, sourdough, and dried fruits’, while the palate offers ‘dark cherry, English toffee, oakwood, roasted nuts, marble rye, nutmeg, and subtle leather’.
The whiskey matured in Speyside single malt casks, Canadian oak barrels, and ex-Bourbon barrels. Bottled at 52% ABV, the limited edition whisky will be available in Canada and the US.
“With the brands we have, J.P. Wiser has the right to play in this space as we have the aged stock and inventory,” Livermore told the Windsor Star.
“We know we have an award-winning style of whisky. This is a good time as we know people are collecting whiskies. J.P. Wiser’s has the quality products to deliver in this space.”
J P Wiser’s was acquired by Pernod Ricard in 2005.
