Description
J.P. Wiser’s 18 Year Old Canadian Whisky boasts a complex flavor profile that goes beyond the typical smoothness expected from Canadian whiskies. Here’s a deeper dive into its aroma and taste:
Aroma
- The initial nose can offer a surprising variety of scents. Some tasters pick up on a creamy sweetness like milky coffee, butterscotch, and honey.
- Others detect a hint of citrus alongside the sweetness.
- There’s also a deeper layer of wood influence, with some mentioning notes of cedar or even a faint whisper of glue (though not unpleasant!).
Taste
- The palate continues the exploration of sweet and savory. Juicy orchard fruits like pear, apple, and nectarine come to the forefront.
- Hints of black pepper and spicy cedar add a touch of complexity, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying.
- In the background, some tasters perceive a subtle nuttiness, while the influence of the oak barrel becomes more apparent with notes of warm caramel and a touch of char.
Finish
- The finish is where the oak influence truly shines. A gentle heat from the alcohol mingles with lingering notes of caramel and toasted nuts.
- Some reviewers describe a pleasant dryness that leaves you wanting another sip.
