J.P. Wiser’s Canadian-

J.P.Wiser’s Canadian-  Diversity is a hot topic these days, right ? So I’m doing my part. We are enjoying peak fall color right now, so I poured a generous dram of autumn in my glass. Our fine neighbors to the north do many things exceptionally well and distilling whisky is right up there…..On a side note, they even spell it properly !  Before you even smell this classic, the fancy decanter gets your immediate attention. I found a massive amount of pepper and delicate caramel in the nose.  The palate was earthy but sophisticated, and no , that’s not a contradiction smarty pants……The mouthfeel was creamy and quite complex, right up my alley.  You will taste the toasty grain and rich rye notes which have a gentle bite, no doubt mellowed by the 18 long years in oak barrels.  The color reminded me of thick and delicious canadian maple syrup, my all time favorite on buckwheat pancakes.   I love the heritage involved too, they have been at this since 1857 !  The finish is a tad quick but the experience is long lasting.  To quote their original mantra, “ Horses should hurry, but whisky must take its time”.  You don’t need your passport to grab a bottle either, it’s widely available.  Fall in a glass is the order of the day, now get busy.  Rated an inclusive 8 on the leafy scale.
