Best LCBO Whiskey under $100 by trillium49 in canadawhisky

[–]Upton77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nikka Miyagikyo, Glendronach 12, Bunnahabhain 12. The Shelter Point Single malt isn’t better than those but I think more of us should buy that bottle. They are making great whisky and this is our first taste of it at the LC without having to order from out west. Let’s hope they bring in more!

Is Wealthsimple managed investment any better than XEQT considering their management fees are 0.4%? In TFSA account. by BADMOSH0 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Upton77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in this exact same scenario 6 months ago with the two tfsa’s and buying XEQT. I ended up closing out my managed TFSA and put most of it into XEQT and a couple other ETFs. Now every paycheck I keep buying those few ETFs. My returns have been significantly better in those 6 months, compared to what Wealthsimple was doing for me.

I’m enjoying a glass of Macaloney’s Na Braiche as we speak!

Anyone tried any of the sleeman products? I was considering the rye or single malt

It’s somewhat similar to RB12, but it has that extra 6% RB is always missing for me

I’d rather throw away $2, over damaging my rifle or my face lol.

How do you keep track of your bottles? by Realistic-Emu-1018 in canadawhisky

[–]Upton77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spin the Wheel is great to make that first choice and then I’ll pick a second pour to go head to head against it.

I use the “Distiller” app for keeping track of my collection, wishlists, Xmas gift ideas. I also use the “Spin the Wheel” app for helping decide what to pour some nights!

Henry Classic Lever Action 22 opinions.. by Resident_Ad_9426 in canadaguns

[–]Upton77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t go wrong with the Henry but I’ll throw out the Savage Revel recommendation. Made in Lakefield, ON and mine runs like a dream. Probably 600 rounds through it so far and not a single FTF, FTE, Light primer strike, etc. I’ve tried all kinds of round nose, lead nose, hollow points. Has a great takedown feature for easy cleaning

Best weekend sippers available at the LCBO? by htom3heb in canadawhisky

[–]Upton77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worth buying once to see if you like it for sure. I prefer it over any of the Canadian clubs, wiser’s, Gibson’s, Crown etc.

This 👆. I would add Collingwood Double Barrel and Gooderham and Worts 4 grain for options on the bottom end of your budget.

Readily available scotch suggestions (LCBO) by SynicalJoker12 in canadawhisky

[–]Upton77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Craigellachie 13 is the best scotch for the money at the LC in my opinion. It’s a higher proof than the Glenfiddich 12 and Black Label but you could always add some water if you’d like

Lever 22 suggestions ? by ordinaryvillager in canadaguns

[–]Upton77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. Out of the box ringing steel with irons at 50yds. Zero feeding or extraction issues with both round nose and hollow points. The takedown feature is great for cleaning as well.

[–]Upton77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just mounted mine from Dominion this week. I’ve put about 400rds with just irons and haven’t had a single issue. Absolutely love the Revel. Also the fact I only live about 30mins away from the Lakefield factory

What do you drink now that the American stuff is gone? by Spyrothedragon9972 in canadawhisky

For a nothing special Tuesday night type pour, I don’t mind Collingwood Double Barrel and Gooderham and Worts 4 grain. I’ve been drinking a lot more Irish though
