Wiser's J.P. Wiser's "Red Letter" Canadian Whisky
$150.
John Philip Wiser (October 4, 1825 – April 30, 1911) was an American-born manufacturer, rancher and political figure in Ontario, Canada.
Brilliant golden amber color. Golden raisin, dried pear, honey toast, anise, and gentle spice aromas. A round, vibrant entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity full body of honeyed cereal, creamy vanilla, rich baking spices, butterscotch, and wet stone flavors. Finishes with a long, buttered toast and praline fade with enveloping layer of spice and toffee. A fantastic sipping whisky.

10/18 (Laird Archibald Campbell Legend of 1810)
Isle of Jura "Prophecy" Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$70.
Many moons ago, the Diurachs were entitled to distil whisky for personal consumption. Alas, all good things come to an end and meddling politicians introduced a ban in 1781.
29 years later, as legend has it, Laird Archibald Campbell awoke; sober, it must be said; in the middle of the night to see the ghostly figure of an old woman hovering over his bed. She berated him over the lack of the golden liquid on the island. It was this apparition that persuaded him to reverse this punitive measure and erect a distillery at an old smugglers’ cave in the hamlet of Craighouse in 1810
