7,827 bottles created with one-of-a-kind
labels representing each week
of Canada's history since
Confederation
TORONTO, May 23, 2017 /CNW/ - J.P. Wiser's Canadian
whisky is proud to announce the nation-wide release of a new,
limited-edition whisky in celebration of Canada's upcoming 150th
anniversary. Only 7,827 bottles of this special One Fifty
whisky have been produced – each one with a unique date printed on
the label that corresponds to one of the 7,827 weeks in
Canada's history since
Confederation in 1867.
"J.P. Wiser's is a proud Canadian
brand that's older than the country itself, so we felt a sense of
duty to create something really special and one-of-a-kind – not
only to mark Canada's big
anniversary, but also to celebrate all the milestones along the way
over the past 150 years," says Keeshan
Selvakumar, Whisky Brand Manager, Corby Spirit and Wine.
"J.P. Wiser's One
Fifty Commemorative Series gives people the
opportunity to covet a unique piece of our country's great history;
a week and point in time that only they can call their own."
With a deep, golden-amber colour, J.P.
Wiser's One Fifty offers a rich, oaky aroma with
hints of vanilla and spice. These flavours carry through onto the
palate, which is full-bodied and balanced with a natural sweetness.
The finish is warm and silky smooth. J.P.
Wiser's One Fifty can be enjoyed neat or on the
rocks.
"J.P. Wiser's One Fifty is
an exceptional blend of corn and rye grain, which has been aging in
new oak and Canadian whisky casks since the year 2000," says Dr.
Don Livermore, Master Blender. "The
whisky's age and high quality ingredients make it an outstanding
value, and I hope Canadians are as proud to enjoy it as we are to
have created it."
Founded in 1857, J.P. Wiser's
Canadian whisky has roots that go back to the very beginning of
Canada's history. Its
internationally award-winning whiskies are known for being blended
with exacting care, and aged to perfection in white oak barrels.
J.P. Wiser's whiskies are created
and bottled in Windsor, Ontario at
Hiram Walker & Sons – one of the largest distilleries in
North America.
