In 1857 — before Canada was even a nation — J.P. Wiser was distilling whisky in Prescott, Ontario. By the early 1900s, J.P. Wiser was selling whisky all over the world, growing to become Canada’s third largest distiller. His choice to age his whisky longer than others at the time set his whiskies apart from the competition and helped Wiser’s build the lasting legacy upon which it rests to this day. Resting on the Canadian side of the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario, the current distillery faces harsh changes in temperature that helps shape its distinct flavour profiles.
