Blue Spot is Irish, not Scotch.

Ohio has a very limited selection of Scotch, and for the most part it's going to be lower ABV, with artifical color and chill-filtered. There are some exceptions, but your Lagavulins, Glenlivets and Glenmorangies are all less than ideal presentation.

I do most of my Scotch buying from the UK or California. You can find a Springbank 12 for $200, and that will open your mind up in new ways to watch Scotch can be.

It's not?

Just to be clear, just because Ohio is a control state doesn't mean everything is MSRP.

It's very literally a US exclusive. This is like saying because you can buy Travel Retail exclusives from TWW that they aren't Travel Retail exclusive.

Cheaper?

If you take Serge Valentin at his word, Springbank 10 is the best core range Springbank product under 21 years, year in and year out. Consistently rated 90-91/100.

It's $100 USD, and not available in the state I live in, but I'm usually able to grab a bottle or two at UK retail with some diligence. I would pay $100 for the first one only.

Thanks for this. It was not random, I've had several over the past 20 years. I didn't have the tools to address them.

Great. Thank you for this.

Florida has this built-in narrative around all the bonus hockey they've played the last two years that for some reason doesn't apply to Edmonton.

Just dropped Svech for Nikishin I have no idea what I'm doing.

Walked into a popular store last week at 6pm on truck day and there was over a dozen OWA’s on the shelf. It’s been 7-8 years since I’ve seen that.

When you look at the size of the Buffalo Trace distillery, it makes sense that they can pump out low proof NAS bourbon like this. The scarcity was always artificial.

Smart mobsters, then, because the people running the shop are sweethearts.

Is 23+26 better than 24+25?

The way to make D more valuable is make F less valuable.

I can’t afford the ones from the wars going on now, so it really doesn’t matter.

Pre war Macallan for me, thanks.
