J.P. Wiser’s 10 Year Old Canadian Whisky is the latest release from Hiram Walker Distillery. The expression won Gold Medal in the San Francisco Spirits Competition in 2022 and is now available in Atlanta, Georgia.
It is exciting to see Hiram Walker & Sons exporting new expressions with an age statement to the USA. I am a fan of the J.P. Wiser’s brand. I consider J.P. Wiser’s 15 and 18 years old “must try” for anyone new to the Canadian Whisky category.
This triple barrel expression is a blend of column-distilled rye and double-distilled corn, the base whisky in the blend,
The Triple Barrel refers to ex-bourbon barrels, virgin oak barrels, and re-fill Canadian barrels.
Tasting Notes for J.P. Wiser’s 10 Year Old Triple Barrel
Nose: Aromas of brown sugar and vanilla are the most noticeable. The nose is relaxed and inviting.
Palate: The palate arrives with vanilla and caramel, developing into spicy flavors of clove and oak. There is a little heat and a bitter note in the mid-palate, but nothing too extreme. The overall texture of this whisky is light, approachable, and balanced.
Finish: Short to medium. The oak note is more noticeable in the finish but does not overpower the experience.
Conclusion: A good Canadian Rye. The balance between sweet and spicy is noticeable. This expression feels close in flavor to J.P. Wiser’s 18, where the sweetness of the double-distilled corn offsets the spicy rye.
I enjoyed this whisky neat. However, I can only imagine what it could taste like at 46% ABV. A good value whisky for less than $30. Try and let me know your thoughts.
