96% 15 year old Canadian Whisky; 4% 52 Year Old Scotch Whisky |

Wiser's released this gem last year in British Columbia - a blend of a barrel of 52 year old highland scotch whisky (probably a blend of whiskies in that barrel) from 1964, and 15 year old Canadian whisky matured in new oak barrels. The scotch was left over from a time when Canadian producers used to bottle their own single malt whiskies from Scotland.

It’s quite sweet, with lots of fresh oak, green apple, and green wood on the nose. Freshly sawn lumber, bamboo, pine, rich vanilla – like a freshly sliced vanilla bean – and light wood char notes. It’s rich, and slightly candied too – and with light leather notes. The palate has terrific texture. It is sweet, with lots of fresh oak, and a pronounced mature malt character, and some barrel char. It actually has many elements that remind me of rich, spicy, perfumed Japanese single malt. The finish is spectacular – full bodied, spicy, sweet, and elegant with just terrific wood character. More pine, candle wax, lots of clove, wood char, and some rubber too. This is really nice stuff! Maybe a touch sweet at times, but I don’t mind the way this is balanced!
