Have you ever had the 18 yr old wisers Jackb? that is my prefered whiskey. while on a houseboat fishing trip in Canada I had 6 confirmed crown royal drinkers take a blind taste test between crown royal and wisers. 5 out of the 6 picked wisers as the smoothest. It is hard to get (the 18 year stuff), but I think I may be able to aquire some for Crappie camp.
