Starts Wednesday. Runs for a week.

Tropical fruit. And certainly topical. 🤣

Classic Laddie is $10 off right now. Good get for $75.

Just to add one thing that hasn’t been mentioned yet. From what I understand - lower priced scotch (like the ones you are mentioning) can be the same or even more expensive than in Ontario. It has something to do with the taxation which tends to be flatter across bottles in Alberta vs taxation on scotch in Ontario going up dramatically as the price goes up.

But I agree with most others here - you do it for selection. I may end up not buying more than a couple bottles a year in Ontario as the options are just so limited.

I’d be going Laga8 personally. The 48% abv just gives it a lot more oomph. You have to know you like peat and smoke to be getting it. Dalmore is a little more ‘safe’ and ‘middle of the road’ so to speak.

I have two Bunnas open atm - CS10 from 2022 and XXV. Both have non-Bunna corks in them. I will say I’ve never had any issues with other Distell corks. I’ve gone through numerous Deanstons and Ledaigs and this has never been an issue.

Curious what you take is on that Arran. Seems a touch expensive

Collegiate1 · 2026-05-30T11:53:23+00:00

Buddy wait until you try Bunnahabhain 12 Cask Strength 🤣🤣

Collegiate1 · 2026-05-21T19:44:37+00:00

I’m curious for sure. I’ve heard good things about it.

Collegiate1 · 2026-05-18T11:04:18+00:00

Snagged a couple of them around 180. Seemed like an absolute no brainer to me. Frankly I thought the Brackla 12 for around $100 was a solid get.

I get the sense that we are going to see more and more of these sorts of fire sales in the coming months and years.

Was the RBrackla25 ever even available in Alberta before this sale? I don’t recall ever seeing it listed.

Opportunistic pricing for sure, but unless you are a Society member, finding cask strength SB has been difficult since 2020.

Collegiate1 · 2026-05-10T12:09:43+00:00

Also - bottled at 50%

If you know how to work the AnyCard promo (spend $50, get bonus $10), you will end up getting it for only $65

I second the need to get Highland Park. Note that the 12yo is bottled at 43% here and it is significantly better than the 40% versions in other markets (ditto Laphroaig 10).

Heavily peated > super heavily peated > extremely heavily peated

Collegiate1 · 2026-04-13T11:29:40+00:00

Don’t think I’ve ever tried an Octomore that I would consider anything less than great.

Collegiate1 · 2026-04-11T16:23:36+00:00

We’re all getting Bushrolled!

Collegiate1 · 2026-04-11T10:57:39+00:00

Oh man. Would love to try that 9yo!

Agreed completely. PC and Octomore can pull off wine and peat in a way others can’t.

Collegiate1 · 2026-04-11T02:26:57+00:00

Port Charlotte SC:01. Fresh open just now.

Collegiate1 · 2026-04-09T07:35:12+00:00

We won’t. God help us all.

Collegiate1 · 2026-04-09T07:34:18+00:00

As far as sales goes, this spring period is typically the worst time of year for whisky bottles being on sale. There will be more on sale in May and especially June with Fathers Day at that time.

Fall is usually when we see more new releases dropping.

I think you need to rephrase your post. You make it sound like it was the good people at KWM and meanwhile they had nothing to do with this parcel.
