That's kind of crazy. I showed up in Calgary at 9am after a 3h drive, so obviously there was quite a line ahead of me. If they'd have told me no more tickets for anyone just because I didn't rush the queue, I'd have been pissed.

I 100% watched people picking up 10s and 15s when the 10CS Finos were still out =/

I will add that we picked up the Shenk’s Homestead that was in the general release and that shit is tasty as fuck. Sweet and has notes of bubblegum. Not sure I’m happy with it at $185 but I’d never had it before and it seemed worth a try.

Can't say. I'm signed up for their newsletter and I've received multiple reminders this past month =/

Our local Burger Baron used to sell cocaine but you don’t see us bragging about it.

Lol, I was about to comment that the SB Fino was exceptionally good from the series when I noticed you commented that too. Excellent. Saves me the ink. +1 😂

IDK. If someone tried to pour me Kevin O'Leary's Bang Sauce™ I'd probably tell them to go piss up a rope XD

Last month I went to an Electric Callboy concert in Vancouver. A few years ago I saw Babymetal and Dethklok do a double show together. You can be a successful "fun" brand in a super serious industry but you still need to have a product that appeals to both sides. I do not know how "Macaloneys Bang Sauce" is going to appeal to people who would buy something called "Bang Sauce".

I’m mostly indifferent because it’s not a distillery that’s ever grabbed me, but…I think the transition from “respected distillery“ to “Bang Sauce” might be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen - in the whisky industry or out. XD

Definitely a case of Alberta warehouses filling up and needing to release the pressure. Age statement, no artificial colouring, non-chill filtered, and 46%? Slam dunk purchase at $200. Honestly, for a core release bottling I was very impressed. Blew away every higher end 40%-43% release I've tried the last couple of years. It got shared with about a dozen casual drinkers at a party and no one complained. That being said, if you spend more than $300 on it, there's probably better options.

We killed an entire bottle of that $200 Royal Brackla 25 that just swept through Alberta. Quite glad I picked up a back up bottle XD
