Wiser's, or more generally Corby, is my favourite Canadian whisky producer at the moment. This is simply because they produce a good number of whiskies at a consistently high quality level and I'm rarely…

I don't always get on well with Irish blends. Even as a guy who's accustomed to mild-mannered Canadian whiskies, sometimes the Irish ones just seem a little too austere for my tastes. This one gets…

Nose: smells exactly as I hoped it would. Clean malt and a luscious bouquet of fruit. All kinds of fruit, too: citrus, grape, cherries, red berries. Yet for all that fruit it doesn't smell like port; the…
