#22 Canadian Whisky – Wiser’s 18 Year Old Limited Release
Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 4, 2013
Wiser’s 18 Year Old is a Limited Release bottling totaling only 3500 bottles for each batch produced. Because this is such a limited bottling, the number of whisky barrels selected to produce each batch is relatively small. In fact, according to Hiram Walker Mater Blender, Dr. Don Livermore, the number of casks selected for each bottling of Wiser’s 18 Year Old is in the range of only 15 to 20 ex bourbon casks per batch. With such a small group of barrels to work from, it is inevitable that variations in will exist between separate batches.
I have not reviewed this whisky for over three years, and I since we know that we can expect the whisky to change a little from batch to batch, I decided it would be appropriate to provide a new review based upon the sample bottle provided to me for my Top 25 Canadian Whisky Countdown series. To read that new review of what has turned out to be the Number 22 Canadian Whisky in my Countdown, you may click on the following review excerpt:
Review: Wiser’s 18 Years Old Limited Release Canadian Whisky
This is an oak filled monster of a whisky which runs your taste buds through a gauntlet of spice, and then tempers them with a light toffee sweetness. The overall result is marvelous!
Enjoy the Review!
