J.P. Wiser’s Whisky Weekend

Held in celebration of the birthday of J.P. Wiser himself – the man whose vision helped put Canadian whisky on the map – Whisky Weekend honours his legacy and the generations of people who have carried it forward in Windsor. This event was created to celebrate the history and evolution of Canadian Whisky by exploring how whisky is made, tasting different expressions with fellow whisky enthusiasts.

Across two days, guests will have the opportunity to experience the distillery in a new way, with tours, rare tastings, immersive masterclasses led by one of Canada’s leading whisky experts, specialty cocktails, food and live music. From exploring how whisky is made and aged to sampling expressions rarely available to the public, Whisky Weekend will offer an up-close look at the expertise behind some of Canada’s most celebrated whiskies.
