Savor the remarkable depth and exquisite smoothness that only extended aging can provide with J.P. Wiser’s 15 Year Canadian Whisky. A cherished and best-selling member of the J.P. Wiser’s portfolio, this whisky embodies the distillery’s long-standing tradition of crafting balanced and flavorful Canadian whiskies.

J.P. Wiser’s 15 Year Old is a meticulously crafted blend of Canadian whiskies, primarily featuring double-distilled corn whisky alongside carefully selected rye whisky.

Bottled at a classic 40% ABV (80 Proof), J.P. Wiser’s 15 Year Old is a sophisticated and approachable spirit, perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks.
