Bold and Fiery: JP Wiser Special Blend Whisky Review - A Cinnamon Explosion! 🔥

Rating 3/10 (Rating System)

JP Wiser's Special Blend presents a robust and intense nose, characterized by a powerful and somewhat burning aroma. The spicy notes dominate, with a hard-hitting cinnamon presence that immediately grabs your attention. While intriguing, the nose might be a bit overwhelming for those seeking a more subtle whisky experience. On the palate, the burning sensation persists, giving way to a fiery and spicy feeling. The whisky leaves a tingling sensation around the palate, indicating its strength and boldness. However, the harsh taste might not be to everyone's liking, as it lacks the smoothness and refinement typically associated with whiskey. It deviates from the classic whiskey profile and feels more like a potent and intense spirit. As for the finish, it's relatively short-lived, with the burning sensation lingering in the mouth. The intensity doesn't extend into a prolonged aftertaste, which might disappoint enthusiasts seeking a lasting and complex finish. In summary, JP Wiser's Special Blend stands out for its strong and spicy aroma, but it might be too overpowering for those looking for a more balanced and mellow whiskey experience. The burning sensation on the palate and the lack of a prolonged finish detract from its appeal as a traditional whiskey. If you prefer bold and intense spirits with a pronounced cinnamon kick, this could be an interesting option. However, for those seeking a classic, smooth whiskey profile, this might not be the best fit.

Writing Reference: Whiskey

Whiskey - a general term for an alcoholic liquor made from fermented mashed grains.

Bourbon - the term for a whiskey made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn; traditionally made in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and most bourbon is still produced in the state of Kentucky.

Whiskey vs. Whisky

In the United States, the spelling whiskey is preferred and is what you’ll see on labels of American-made whiskeys. You’ll also see this spelling on Irish whiskeys, as it’s the preferred spelling in Ireland.

Outside of these two countries, though, the spelling whisky is typically preferred to refer to the same general type of drink. Countries that produce this drink, such as Scotland, Canada, and Japan, typically use the whisky spelling on labels.

In general, whiskey and whisky are different spellings for the same general type of alcoholic beverage.

The plural form of whiskey is whiskeys, and the plural of whisky is whiskies.

Even when using the same spelling, specific drinks may have differences from each other. For example, the United States and Ireland both use the whiskey spelling, but the drinks themselves often have different production and distillation methods that will make them look and taste different from each other.

Bourbon & Whiskey

Whiskey - a general term for an alcoholic liquor made from fermented grain mash.

The particular grain (or grain mixture) that is traditionally used will often depend on what is readily available in the local area.

For example, Irish whiskey is typically made from barley, while American whiskey is usually made from corn or rye.

Most whiskeys are aged in wooden containers and almost always are at least 40% alcohol by volume.

Is bourbon a whiskey?

Yes. Bourbon, also known as bourbon whiskey, is a whiskey that is made primarily from corn.

In fact, bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn in order for it to be called bourbon in the United States.

Bourbon production also makes use of particular types of barrels and particular distillation and bottling methods.

However, the corn requirement is the main aspect that makes bourbon unique from other types of whiskey.

Bourbon vs. Whiskey vs. Scotch

Scotch whisky - commonly known as scotch, is another specific kind of whiskey.

While bourbon uses corn as the primary grain, Scotch whisky is typically made mostly of malted barley.

Like bourbon, Scotch whisky also has specific distillation methods and requirements. Just as importantly, a drink can only be called Scotch whisky if it is made in Scotland.

Rye Whiskey vs. Bourbon

Rye whiskey - often shortened to just rye, is a type of whiskey that must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% rye.

Rye often uses a different, specific distillation and aging process as well.

And at least in the United States, it’s rye whiskey. When it’s made elsewhere, such as in Canada, it’s rye whisky.

Other Types of Whiskey

Often, whiskeys (or whiskies) are named for the place they come from or for the ingredients used to make them.

Irish whiskey

Canadian whisky

Japanese whisky

Tennessee whiskey

Malt whisky

Blended whiskey

Drink of choice?

Winter time is usually a good Canadian blend whiskey with one ice cube. With it being summer, i love a good gin and tonic. Mojito's are fun every once in a while as well!

Crown royal special edition.

This is a very rare miniature bottle limited to Japan. It was discontinued a long time ago, so I think there are very few bottles left in good condition.

Our shop sells very rare miniature whiskey. Please visit our website.

:D happy birthday!! Do you think aizawa would enjoy whiskey? Some do some don't 👀

I absolutely think he’s a whiskey man. Probably Jack Daniel’s or some Canadian blended whiskey, y’know the ‘spicy’ stuff lmao. Guaranteed he likes it without ice too. I don’t think he’d take shots, definitely more of a laid back drinker. I think he drinks slow enough that he never really gets drunk either, nothing more than a light buzz y’know? Only sips at it for a while.

I don’t like the hard stuff though, probably the closest I’ll get is Crown Royal Peach. It’s really good tbh. I’m more of a cocktail gal myself, just cause I can’t stand the taste of alcohol. Bar nights definitely end with me wobbling around with him half carrying me out the place, if only cause I can’t taste the alcohol in my mixed drinks so I just keep drinking them like juice…

"Bull Feeney's is an authentic Irish pub and restaurant serving scratch-made pub fare complemented by 14 local craft and 7 premium imported drafts as well as Maine’s most extensive whiskey selection with 105 single malt Scotch, 9 blended Scotch, 43 Irish, 41 Bourbon, 5 Rye, 6 American, 3 Canadian, 1 French and 4 Japanese whiskies." However, Bull Feeney's, named after film director John Ford who played football for Portland High, nicknamed the 'Bull, has closed its doors after 21 years serving the Portland, Maine Irish.

[sanguinifex]

Standard tip is 20%. It’s polite to round up. Getting good at calculating 20% accurately while tipsy is a legit life skill on par with doing laundry. Some bars (like my local) can only take card tips in increments of 25¢. If you’re paying cash, usually the tip is “keep the change,” but if the change is less than 20% of the tab, add some extra or use your card. Likewise if the change is way more than 20%, it’s ok to only give back part of the change (like if you just had one drink, so like $3-6, but all you’ve got is a $20).

Pricing:

(As of 2022/3, in a small US city)

Bottom-shelf vodka, rum, gin, tequila, or bourbon at a liquor store: typically about $16 for a fifth (750 ml), deffo not more than $20. (BTW, a fifth is about the same size as a wine bottle.)

Bottom-shelf whiskey that isn’t bourbon: well, this basically doesn’t exist, it’s gonna be on the next shelf up bc it’s going to be shelved with the nicer but still relatively affordable bourbon. Typically around $25/fifth. This is going to be like blended canadian whiskey. Anything that’s actually Irish will be like $30, unless it’s an Irish cream, which is a liqueur (sweet, low enough ABV it might be sold in grocery stores in some jurisdictions where beer is in grocery stores), in which case it’ll probably be under $20 unless it’s Bailey’s.

Sidenote: a character who’s an alcoholic probably won’t be drinking bourbon unless they’re desperate or actually like bourbon, which has a distinctive aftertaste that triggers a shudder in most people when insufficiently diluted. They’ll probably go for vodka or gin (which is essentially a specific form of flavored vodka).

Shot bottles: typically $0.99-3.00 depending on how fancy the brand is. There’s also “flask size”/half fifths, typically 350 mL, which are usually $5-10. Both are great ways to figure out what you like if you’ve just turned 21!

Macrobrew beers (bud lite etc) typically are a dollar per can or less if bought in a large pack; at a bar, it might be up to $3-4. Anything more and you’re being ripped off and should go somewhere else. Beer at stores is typically sold as a minimum of 4 or 6 units. Aluminum cans or glass bottles; I don’t think I’ve ever seen beer in plastic. You call it a “six-pack, twelve-pack,” etc. 18 and 24 are also common, particularly with cans. Standard can size is 12 oz; a 16 oz can is called a tallboy. However, the standard pour at a bar is 16 oz.

Craft beer is usually packaged in cans; this is cheaper for smaller breweries and cuts down on costs and breakage. You won’t usually find it at stores in larger than a 6-pack. Expect to pay up to $3-4/can at stores and at least $4.50 for the less expensive cans at bars; drafts will typically run $7 or more. And it’s worth it, too. The flavor is way better and you’re paying for high-quality customer service. IPAs and stouts tend to be more expensive than other varieties, but it also depends on the brand. Ciders tend to be on the less expensive side. (They also tend to be sweet rather than dry, which makes them great for people under 25, but I wish my local would make a super dry, hopped cider someday.)

Bars tend to separate themselves into “beer bars” and “liquor bars.” In many jurisdictions, the licensing and mandatory closing times are actually different! Most mixed drink bars will have a couple beers on tap, and most beer bars will have some canned cocktails (or ciders that taste like canned cocktails; the license distinctions are about the ABV available), but those are to keep the gf/bf who “doesn’t like beer” or “doesn’t like mixed drinks” happy.

Mixed drink/liquor bars tend to be dimly lit and don’t have much signage; maybe a small board for the specials but that’s it. You’re expected to know what you want and be able to tell the bartender what you want. James Bond, with his martinis, would be at home here. When in doubt, a vodka cranberry or a screwdriver (vodka orange juice) is always a safe choice, as is a margarita (tequila limeade). Not all bars will have pickle juice, but vodka pickle juice (with or without a dash of hot sauce) is a great option if sugar isn’t your thing. It’s even better if they’ve got pepper infused vodka, but that’s really a thing to make at home with cheap vodka and dried peppers (and whole black peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorn, bay leaf, and optionally juniper berries). It’s also great for bloody maries.

Beer bars typically have more lighting, 12-24 beers on tap (most or all will be craft beers), probably a cooler with a couple dozen more varieties in cans, and a chalkboard with the tap selections listed by tap number, price, ABV, name, and style. It’s acceptable to ask for a taste before you order, as long as you do actually order something! It’s also acceptable to order a half pour, for example if something tastes amazing but it’s high enough in sugar or alcohol that it’d be a bad day to drink an entire pint of it. Beers that are higher in alcohol may be poured in “chalices,” which are 10-oz stemmed glasses that look like squished wine glasses. The board will say whether a beer is a chalice pour. (A half pour for a pint might also be served in a chalice if the bar is out of clean half glasses or doesn’t stock them.) A half pour for a chalice is a flight glass. A “flight” is 3-5 (depending on the bar) small glasses of assorted beers, which is great for trying new things or for having a “chaser” for a really intense beer or mead. It’s usually fine to split a flight with a buddy. Price will vary based on the number of glasses in the flight, but will usually be a little bit more per ounce than a full pour.

Beer styles is a whole other post. Also, a wine expert is called a sommelier; a beer expert is called a cicerone.

Unlike at restaurants, at bars, the customer is not always right. They legally can’t serve you if you’re too drunk or high. Typically what will happen is the bartender will ask if you want a water, which is usually either free or like $1 (unless it’s a fancy brand of water; most bars will have whatever was cheapest at Sam’s Club as default), and then if you get drunker than that, they’ll cut you off (stop serving you alcohol) for either the next hour or for the rest of the night. If you start a fight or trash the bathroom or something, you’ll probably get banned from the bar. Also, unless they know you pretty well, they’ll probably take your credit card and keep it by the register; if you forget to pay, they can legally charge you your tab + 20% without you signing for it.

If a bar also serves food (other than like chips), you typically can’t bring outside food in (unless maybe if you have super bad food allergies). Food requires an extra license so some bars don’t have any food. In that case, it’s usually OK to order pizza or Doordash, though it’s polite to give the bartender a slice or one of your chicken nuggets or w/e in addition to the regular tip, especially if you know them well. Also, ask first before you order outside food. Don’t bring outside alcohol, though usually water or like gatorade is fine.

Salty food and gatorade help prevent hangovers.

Ok this is too long I’m gonna stop

Alcohol tips for newbie writers (or non drinkers!):

At bars, people who order “chasers” after their shots are ordering something to wash down the taste of their shot with. This can be juice, soda, more alcohol, or even pickle juice

Hard liquor is generally sold in stores as shots (tiny bottles), fifths, liters, and handles or in ml (50, 100, 200 etc)

Most people can’t finish an entire fifth of hard liquor (vodka, etc) on their own without being very ill

Conversely, many people can finish an entire bottle of wine on their own without being ill

Liquor can be “bottom shelf” or “rail” or “well” – all synonyms for the cheapest version of alcohol a bartender has. Bars generally keep several “levels” of alcohol stocked

You order a drink with the alcohol first, then the mix – e.g., a “vodka soda” or a “Tito’s and tonic”

When you “close out a tab”, you pay for all of the drinks you’ve had that night. Either the bartender already has your card (you “opened a tab” earlier) or it was quiet enough that they just kept an eye on you and tallied your bill up at the end

“Doubles” are drinks or shots with double the standard pour of alcohol

In the US, most shots (pours) are 1.5 oz by default. 

Mixed drinks (gin and tonic, vodka lemonade, cosmos, etc) are generally made up of 1-2 shots and a mixer 

If you don’t specify which type of alcohol you’d like in a mixed drink (vodka cranberry, for example) the bartender will put whatever the “house” liquor is – and this depends entirely on the establishment. A dive bar will pour rail by default, whereas a nicer tavern might make all vodka cranberries with Tito’s

PLEASE TIP YOUR BARTENDERS THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU I PROMISE

#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE: Californian Veteran Mash-uper 'DJ Earworm' drops newly-creative music video 'Blame It on the Whiskey'

(Written by Hailey Alohilani Banks / News Director of Disney XD News)

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- In a long-awaited musical release, California veteran mash-up artist 'DJ Earworm' unveiling his new annual mash-up "Blame It on the Whiskey" last Tuesday morning (December 10th, 2024 -- Pacific local time). As per the exclusive report from a Canadian magazine news outlet 'Exclaim!', this track goes on to blend the biggest hits of the year into a cohesive musical experience.

DJ Earworm, real name as 'Jordan Roseman' originally came from Iowa, now currently resides in his home state of California. He began his mash-up journey in late-2003 and has been releasing his "United State of Pop" mash-ups annually since the 1st of January in 2008. These mash-ups sparked international attention, which feature the top 25 songs of the year, according to Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 chart. It have become a beloved tradition for music lovers, celebrating nearly 2 decades of musical creativity.

"Blame It on the Whiskey" is probably a mash-up sequel to "Blame It on the Pop" that came out late in December 2009. This year's mash-up in 2024 tells the story about love, hurtfulness and escapism tale of alcohol. The track talks about frustration with relationships, self-deception and the cycle of emotional battles, such as mental illness and addiction issues. The video depicts escapism through the motif of alcohol by using whiskey as a way of dealing with life and all the emotional turmoil associated.

This new piece of mash-up song is also a social commentary to our American culture, because drinking represents both celebration and avoidance of certain issues, and this would only perpetuate dependency with temporary happiness. In all the lyrics, but not in the video editing, there's a repeated acknowledgement of accountability in relationships wherein both people blame each other and blame themselves, and this represents the complexity of love.

The annual mash-up of DJ Earworm have evolved consistently from pop classics to today's hits, creating a nostalgic, yet contemporary musical journey that resonates with listeners across generations. "Blame It on the Whiskey" is no exception, seamlessly blending the biggest year-end hits into a cohesive and emotionally charged track. You can listen the full mash-up music video, only on YouTube.

Barrell Seagrass

Review by: Raygun Barrell of course is known for blending and often finishing sourced whiskey. Nothing wrong with that; I’ve enjoyed most of their products and they’ve carved a pretty good nitch for themselves. In this case, we have Canadian and American (from Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee) rye finished in Martinique rum, Madeira, and apricot brandy casks. On paper, might be a bit of a mess.…

Basil Hayden's Dark Rye Discovered

Abby:  Have you been wondering about the taste, aromas, and history of Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye?  Let’s discuss with my good friend Andrew and find out what makes this bourbon tick!

Andrew, I've been hearing whispers about this Basil Hayden's Dark Rye. Can you enlighten me?

“Of course, Abby. Imagine a spirit that dances between tradition and innovation—that's Basil Hayden's Dark Rye for you. It's a rye whiskey that dares to defy convention”

Oh? What sets it apart from the rest?

“Picture this: a lineage of distilling mastery dating back to 1795, under the watchful eye of Beam Suntory. This particular expression is a tapestry woven from the finest threads of Kentucky straight rye, Canadian rye, and a splash of Californian port to add a stroke of genius.”

A storied past indeed! But how did this Dark Rye emerge from such heritage?

“Like a phoenix from the ashes, the Dark Rye was born out of a desire to challenge the palate. It's a bold statement in a world of traditional ryes, a harmonious blend that marries the robustness of rye with the sweetness of port.”

And visually?

“Gaze upon it, Abby, and you'll be met with a rich tapestry of deep ruby and mahogany, a visual feast hinting at its layered complexity. Its syrupy legs cling to the glass, whispering tales of a full-bodied experience.”

The aroma, Andrew. Guide me through it.

“Abby, imagine a stroll through an orchard at the peak of autumn. The aroma of Basil Hayden's Dark Rye is a tapestry of nostalgia and comfort. It begins with a burst of sun-kissed berries, mingling with the indulgent scent of chocolate-covered cherries that evoke memories of a cozy evening by the fire.

As you delve deeper, there's an undercurrent of vanilla-spiced oak, reminiscent of a well-loved library filled with leather-bound books, each page infused with wisdom and whispers of the past. The rye adds a sprinkle of excitement—a peppery spark that ignites the soul, like the first crisp breeze of the season that sends a shiver of anticipation down your spine.

It's not just a smell, Abby. It's an experience—a journey through the warmth of cherished moments and the thrill of new beginnings.”

And now, the taste—the essence of our journey.

“Ah, the taste of Basil Hayden's Dark Rye is like a masterfully composed ballad, each note resonating with depth and emotion. On the tongue, it unfurls a rich tapestry of dark fruits—imagine black cherries plucked from the tree at the height of ripeness, plums that burst with flavor, and a hint of figs that whisper secrets of ancient lands.

As the melody of fruits crescendos, there's a counterpoint of spice—a lively rye kick that stirs the spirit, akin to the first fiery hues of sunset that paint the sky with passion and promise. The velvety caress of vanilla and caramel then sweeps in, soothing like a lover's embrace, while a zest of orange peel adds a final flourish, a spark of brightness that lingers like the last rays of sun on a perfect day.”

A dessert in a glass, indeed! But what of the finale, the last act of this performance?

“The finish, my dear Abby, is a lingering sonnet. It starts with a sweet serenade of those dark fruits, then slowly fades into a more contemplative, almost philosophical dryness. It's smooth, yet it leaves you pondering the complexities of its character.”
