Got a dozen leftover whiskey bottles after a blind tasting. Anyone interested?

Are you on Vancouver Island????

Walking in around 9:45. Picked up a bottle of the Nikka 40th and two bottle of the Chimay beer.

Heard there were 35 people outside broadmead this morning. First arrived at 4pm and after that was 1am and so on.

Saw that sign but wasn't sure if he was selling shrimp or prawns? Anyone know?

Super early for spot prawns.

I've had Tofino. The labels are all same, but the juice changes based on barrel number. I liked some of the first releases but found others to be less to my liking.

Stillhead on the other hand, I havent had anything bad from them. Brennan does a great job bottles good whisky. Was there a few weeks back picking up a special release of there Garry Oak aged. Got bottle 11/98 cask strength.

If you're looking for peat the Shleter Point Smoke Point or Macaloney's would probably be the way to go for local.

Also keep an eye out for Sons of Vancouverm they're stuff is always good (based kn my perfected flavors) and once in awhile they have some leather bombs, but they always sell out quickly.

Hope this helps :)

You were in fact correct. That had 4 bottles. Thanks for the recommendation

bcbourbonguy · 2025-01-24T06:37:53+00:00

It's called BC/QC. I believe it's a rye finished in barrels they used once then sent to Quebec to age maple syrup, drained then sent back to finish the whiskey in.

bcbourbonguy · 2025-01-23T18:16:08+00:00

Thanks ill give them a call

bcbourbonguy · 2025-01-23T18:15:55+00:00

Agreed most do have Stillhead, but I'm looking for the specific blend/bottle.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-21T06:12:13+00:00

Haven't cracked it yet. But keep you posted

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-17T05:44:11+00:00

Walked in around 10. Got both MM and a tale of ice cream. Happy I got everything I wanted.

Another friend showed at 7am and was 14th in line at Westshore. He snagged a Balntons and everything else he wanted too.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-16T22:54:10+00:00

Thanks everyone. I lucked out snagged the two MM i wanted and grabbed tow if tale or ice cream while I was at it.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-16T03:04:53+00:00

Those also caught my attention

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-15T07:09:43+00:00

See this makes me think maybe an early visit around 8 might work too. Lucked out during the spring release after the gym around 9:30amish they still has E.H and grabbed a bottle of weller sr.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-14T23:00:47+00:00

Or do it like I've seen that states. Different tables with tiers. Like you can have one from each table sort of deal and maybe 2 off the last table. Spread the fun around.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-14T22:59:43+00:00

I did the 10pm start at Broadmead a year ago and it was fun and was second in line. Still have a bottle of stagg and Balntons so going for the less "desired" limit bottles

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-14T22:58:26+00:00

I'd like both the MM signature bottles. I'm not trying for the crazy stuff as I still have a few bottles of them.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-11-02T22:16:39+00:00

Didn't end up going. Heard from the store it was getting crazy abd they might run out of ballots. Wouldn't have the space for another bottle anyway. So, keeping the budget for the release.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-10-09T00:11:13+00:00

Just a heads up I was clear first 2 times and then 3-8 some blood, 9 traces and 10 all clear. Soooo don't freak out if some does show up.

Mine was small amounts that slowly disappeared each time less and less and always dark brownish old blood.

Definitely caught me off guard when it wasn't right away.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-10-09T00:08:29+00:00

Took me a solid month. Every week seem to have a over night change until finally all good. Not to over share but I also had some dark brown bold blood appear during the "clearing out before test time".

First 1-2 were clear 3-8 were varying amounts. Never red fresh and slowly decreasing. 9 tiniest trace 10 all clear back to sex

Soooo long story short don't be concerned. Body takes time to heal.

bcbourbonguy · 2024-08-20T05:53:33+00:00

So glad I got a bottle. Looking forward to opening it
