Review by @Nozinan
Buying a bottle of Lamb's Navy Rum (151 Proof),which is distributed by Corby's, there was an attached mini of Wiser's Deluxe. Gotta love synergy.
I've tried a few Wiser's products and liked them, but this isn't a special release. It's bottled at 40%, NAS, etc...
So?
Nose 20/25
Honey, syrup, caramel, vanilla, cookie dough..
Taste 21/25
Sweet but not cloying, a little spiciness, caramel and vanilla.
Finish 21/25
Short. Spices fade out leaving oaky astringency.
Balance 21/25
Good balance between the nose and palate. A little sweet. Might have been a little more interesting at 43% or higher.
Total Score: 83/100
I'm sure I would choose other Wiser's products such as Legacy or Dissertaion over this one, but i was pleasantly surprised by this one. It holds its own as a sipper.
Find where to buy Wiser's whisky
This is my mother-in-law’s standard rye and Coke whisky. I keep a bottle on hand at all times for her. I’m not too proud to admit I’ve sipped it on the rocks more than once in a pinch.
