Producer Note: "This is the very first batch that we acquired at the beginning of our journey into the whisky business. The bond year of this batch is 2000 and continues to finish in Cognac barrels. It’s pretty great, but the brandy finished stuff was ready ahead of time. So we’re letting this batch sit bit longer and now it’s ready for a partial release."
Batch 1 was created by marrying three single casks of 100% corn whisky from the lost Potters distillery. It spent 17 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before being re-racked for 5 years in 25 year old Cognac barrels from Charente, France.

Shots fired! This is the JP Wiser's 42 Year Old answer to the Canadian Club Chronicles series of 40+ year old Canadian Whisky. Oddly enough, the whisky for both come from the 165+ year old Hiram Walker distillery in Windsor, Ontario. The Wiser's 42 Year Old was distilled in 1982 and bottled at a respectable 52% ABV.
Producer Description
"The new whisky produced back in 1982 was 90 per cent double column distilled grain whisky and 10 per cent single column produced rye. There was nothing unusual there: These were pretty typical, tried-and-true beginnings for a Canadian whisky. But this spirit was destined for greatness thanks to an unusual and special maturation.
First, the sheer length of it is unique. Not many Canadian whiskies have been aged for decades and decades. Wiser’s was doing something long overdue: creating an opportunity to showcase how the greatness of Canadian whisky can reveal itself in a high-aged expression — creating a whisky that’s both ready for the world stage and a source of pride here at home.
Second, the whisky is aged in Canadian oak barrels, ex-bourbon casks and Speyside single malt casks — a recipe for complexity and depth of flavour.
Third, the distillery and aging warehouses stand near the banks of the Detroit River, where climate conditions — the hot, humid summers and cold winters that the Great Lakes region is known for — bring out unique flavours in whisky as it ages."

A curious new Canadian whisky made from a Corn/Rye Whisky sourced from the Potters Distillery in Kelowna. It was matured 17 years in ex-Bourbon and finished in 15 months in Jerez Brandy barrels from Osborne (Andalusia, Spain). Bottled at 54.5%, the spirit was made from a mashbill of 91.5% corn and 8.5% rye.
Producer Description
"This totally unique Whisky is our first release. We handcraft it in limited quantities starting with a superb legacy whisky from the old Potter’s distillery in Kelowna B.C. We then custom finish in vintage Solera casks and finally blend at high proof without colouring or chill filtering to yield a taste and character unlike anything else on the market."
