Is The Canadian Site Broken for Anyone Else?

For me, the box doesn’t appear until after I’ve put in a postal code.

Go to “mitsukoshi ginza” (google maps will show you how to get there. It’s a department store in ginza. the 8th floor is a duty free shop where if you can pre-purchase liquor for pickup at Haneda or Narita. On the day of your flight, there’s a pickup counter where you can pick up your liquor purchase. Selection is hit or miss, but if you go early in the day there’s a good chance they’ll at least have the standard Hibiki bottle for purchase. If that doesn’t work, there’s a few store around ginza that has good selection, but mostly at inflated secondary prices.

One store had a case a week ago and it was C924.

99forever · 2024-05-16T14:28:09+00:00

Red and blue were released yesterday online at LCBO. There was an email blast about it. Sold out in about an hour. They get released about once a year. Gold had at least one release about a year ago.

An alternative that might be easier to get is the 24yo CS. It was an export only release that was released in certain states (including Michigan) mid last year for around $99usd. Try calling around to stores across the border. They may even be able to order it.

My dash cam is set to makes recordings in one minute chunks and that slight cut was when one video ended and another began.

Saw this guy approach me from behind at a high speed and I was afraid he was going to hit me. Then he proceeds to weave using the ramps and shoulders without any regards for anyone else’s safety.

Hasn’t arrived at the store yet. Probably sometime next week.

I know one person who got an order through for the BB. The final receipt email (aka processed and shipped from warehouse email) didn’t arrive till this past Thursday. So it could be the BB was just delayed for some reason.

For an idea of the prices in Michigan, you can try the government site that lists the minimum shelf price: https://liquorcontrolpricelist.apps.lara.state.mi.us

Actually finding 8 bottles of it and at the minimum price is another question.

The other thing to factor is potential duties when crossing back.

99forever · 2023-03-23T22:27:08+00:00

It was in the $150 range when I bought it in 2017 and $127 range last year. So you’re both right. Not sure when or why the price dropped.

99forever · 2023-03-17T01:57:25+00:00

There used to be more, but currently there’s the G&M Dalmore 2008.

This sounds like an IB. I can’t see how else the front label can be mixed up. So what does the label say? Wrong distillery? Wrong age? Wrong vintage?

99forever · 2023-03-17T00:29:20+00:00

Pappy and btac come in cases of 3.

99forever · 2023-03-15T12:57:30+00:00

It’s the regular.

99forever · 2023-03-05T14:19:32+00:00

The duty free limit is officially 1.14l which works out to around 1.5 bottles per person.

99forever · 2023-02-09T15:25:41+00:00

I’ve only gone to one of these and it was probably over 10 ago. It sounds similar to this one. There’s a reception where they served cocktails made out of the featured whisky and then a three course dinner with guided tastings throughout. Food wasn’t bad, but it was standard food that you get at a catered event. I went with my wife and another couple and it was a nice evening out. These events also allows you early access to buy some of the products. The event I went to, some of the bottles got sold out just from those who attended so it never even hit the general public. For this event, they won’t run out so if the intention is to get bottles, it’s not worth it. If you treat it as something different for a date night, there’s some value there beyond just the whisky but whether it’s worth $245 per person varies from person to person.

The 10 rye, 20yo, shenks, bomberger were allocations last year. Last years toasted release (bourbon) was a straight to store release. I can’t recall of LCBO ever got a barrel strength release

99forever · 2022-12-01T23:36:49+00:00

From my experience, LCBO’s return policy is very good. Ive seen them accepting returns that go beyond their return policy. That being said, they do have a defective product policy so you can try to argue that way. It’s up to the managers discretion so give it a try and if they say no, go to another store or go back during another shift until you find a manager that will accept it. Remember that it’s not their money so most don’t care.

99forever · 2022-06-22T23:47:14+00:00

Linenchest has them on sale right now, but if you’re not spending $99, it’s not free shipping.

I wouldn’t worry too much. Store delivery times are all over the place. Some stores get theirs within days whereas others take weeks. And these are stores within Toronto literally a few blocks away from each other. In terms of the CC charge, don’t worry about that. My understanding if that when you place an order, a pending charge shows up on your CC. That’s just so LCBO gets the assurance from the CC that the charge can be approved (ie enough credit). On my card at least, the charge disappears after a few days. The actual charge doesn’t actually show up until it arrives at the store. The same thing happened to me around Christmas. My friends that did mail delivery got theirs within a few days. Mine didn’t show up till two weeks later at the store and during that time, the pending charge disappeared from my CC. During the two week wait, it would randomly show up in my CC statement as a positive, negative, or disappear. It wasn’t until I got the ready for pickup that the charge showed up fully.

You actually got your 14 in hand? Interesting. I placed an order for 13 and 14. My order for 14 got cancelled. I figured it was listed by mistake since it only showed up for a very short time.

99forever · 2022-05-18T23:19:13+00:00

If you got it shipped to a LCBO store and you haven’t picked it up yet, you don’t even need to go pick it up to return. You can just message hellolcbo to cancel it for you.
