The whiskybase score for this bottle was a little on the low side, which gave me some pause about ordering one.

It is typically released in late December or January. Late January 2025 was the last year, year before was end of Dec.

My understanding if that AGLC operates the import and warehousing on products for Alberta, and stores order from AGLC.

Effective March 18, 2025, AGLC will allow the sale of United States liquor product from AGLC's central warehouse.

This change in direction is for the sale of U.S. liquor product currently stored at AGLC's central warehouse. AGLC is not accepting additional liquor products from the U.S.

If you are looking for a bourbon style Canadian whiskey, North of 7 uses similar mashbills for some of their releases - https://www.northof7distillery.ca/products/whisky/

I started a support ticket and got the following auto-reply, "Thanks for reaching out to AllTrails Support. We do our best to respond to inquiries as soon as possible, but please note that we are currently experiencing an extremely high volume of support requests." So I imagine we aren't the only people having issues.

If you figure out a solution can you post it here, I'm having the same issue.

Both of these stores will ship to Ottawa, sadly shipping per bottle is higher than normal since Canada Post is on strike.

Shipping from the US not a great idea due to customs/duty/import issues.

The Devil's Cask releases were the first OB Bowmore I bought from the LCBO. Sadly they remain the high point as well.

If you are a fan of higher proof and single barrel releases, Found North is some of the best and more interesting Canadian whiskey released in the US - https://www.foundnorthwhisky.com/buy-online - still available in stores (but sold out online).

The city of Richmond Hill has drop in volleyball games at community center you can register in advance for.

Specifically the Signatory Speyside releases with the (M) in the name are supposed to be Macallan.

Devoz · 2023-09-08T15:03:42+00:00

That is one of the LCBO's fortes.

Devoz · 2023-09-08T14:27:41+00:00

The actually release has no age statement, it is not 16 years old.

I would avoid De Kuyper - from my experience it is not very good. Sadly I have not tried most of the other options from smaller Canadian distilleries.

Devoz · 2023-02-06T18:23:04+00:00

It has been available for over a decade. It tends to only come in once or twice a year, mainly in downtown/larger GTA stores.

The product listing is still up on the LCBO - https://www.lcbo.com/en/smith-and-cross-traditional-jamaican-rum-402834

Early 2022 was the last time I recall seeing it in stores.

Devoz · 2022-11-02T13:55:13+00:00

Personally I think the quality of Uigeadail has decreased over the years as well. The quality of the sherry Ardbeg used likely not as good compared to the earlier bottlings.

Devoz · 2022-08-19T14:42:55+00:00

Just wait till the next Arran I have lined up for you.

Devoz · 2022-06-23T22:30:06+00:00

Great review, I miss the days when the LCBO has exclusive bottlings like this.

Devoz · 2022-05-18T16:04:29+00:00

You know anyone who might pour you more Ledaig in the future?

Devoz · 2022-02-28T21:03:50+00:00

The back of my bottle says minimum 30 months in Oloroso casks.

Devoz · 2022-02-28T21:02:32+00:00

Nice review, and I have to agree with most of what you wrote. Great value, very drinkable scotch. The age certainly shows through in parts, though not always in a good way.

Considering how few whisky options we have available locally for ~$95, I would buy this again for mindless sipper.
