J. P. Wiser 10 YO Triple Barrel
J. P. Wiser 10 YO Triple Barrel, 40%
The J. P. Wiser 10 YO Triple Barrel is matured in three different types of casks; new oak (virgin oak), ex-bourbon, and ex-Canadian whisky. More info on the official product page.
The J. P. Wiser 10 YO Triple Barrel is available in Norway at NOK 197 (14644502). Note that it comes in a 35 cl plastic bottle with screw cap. Maybe not the most appealing packaging, but what matters is the contents.
Nose: Starts off with soft honeyed notes that carry a subtle floral elegance. Juicy, ripe apples provide a fruity foundation, making the nose feel vibrant yet mellow. As it opens up, comforting touches of cinnamon and creamy vanilla emerge.
Taste: Medium-bodied and well-balanced. Honey and a gentle kick of white pepper greet the palate, quickly followed by a cascade of juicy orchard fruits; mainly apples and pears. Add to that a whisper of tropical fruitiness.
Finish: Medium long. The fruitiness and spice gently fade into a richer layer of sweetness. Honey deepens into caramel sauce towards the finish line.
Comment: Mild-mannered but full of charm.
