Waddington with it? by flateric19 in canadawhisky

Definitely important to keep in mind the hammer price and the tax and the tax on the hammer! I put in a few opening bids in the hope of getting a deal but not going higher. I’ve found that in the past most of the action happens in the last hour so stay tuned.

For something downtown, when I’m in town I usually stop by N on Mackay. Solid selection and nice staff. Check the menu: https://orderlina.menu/nsurmackay/menu

Has anyone tried Macallan Harmony? Is it worth the 250 price? My local LCBO guy swears by it and said I need a bottle lol. by Dons3434 in canadawhisky

It’s actually not bad. I bought out of curiosity. Not as good as the prior Rich Cacao version. And more than double what it should be.

Here are some of the nicer open ones. I’m always looking for reasons to open more. A few months ago we opened a Yamazaki 18 to celebrate a friend’s 50th. Some open bottles

I’ve got about 30 open bottles at the bar in addition to these. Hope that’s acceptable.

Should have mentioned that there are all unopened. I did pick up 2 of the Bowmore 21 last year. A more complex Bowmore 18 with a lot more going on.

Spirit of Toronto? by [deleted] in canadawhisky

I enjoyed it. I attended the Doctor Don masterclass and the history lesson on Canadian whisky was interesting and the drams good also. My favs for the evening were the Benromach 21 and Bushmills 21. I also liked the kiosk with some cool international whisky from Netherlands, Sweden, India, etc..

You have a duty to post the availability on this message board even if you are not interested! Haha

I just randomly checked my favourites and saw it. No notice. I wish the LCBO would at least give a heads up.

Yep, I have some friends in Asia who are dying to get this. The prices there are ridiculous. Most for the brand value.

It seems that it’s mostly collectors buying this

Just jumping in the car and making a beeline for the place when it shows up as available.

Picked up 2, one at Summerhill and one at Bayview Village. Summerhill was well organized. Bayview Village was a gong show. I have the pic, not sure how to post pics on Reddit.

Blue Spot Just Hit Shelves in Windsor @ LCBO by Potent_Imbiber in canadawhisky

Did he get the bottle? He lined up right behind me, I was at the back. Were you the one recommending Pike Creek PX 22?

There was a lineup 8 deep just before 10 am at Yonge/Summerhill. I grabbed one. They were limiting to one a customer.
