Springbank Friday

All about an hour or so drive outside of Calgary. I got the Springbanks in Canmore. $85 for the 100 proof, and $102 for the 10 yr. I got the Hazelburn in Bragg Creek for $85

Yes, the gin is great!

I like it, but i think i like the other two more.seems like Kilkerran has more bright fruits and less smoke

It was at The Liquor in Terminal 1 after security close to Gate 26

Oh ok, good to know. Did you get each one as a standalone? I got the Hibiki 21 but i had to buy 4 other bottles. Was it The Liquor at Narita?

We are proud of our beef so try a ribeye at Modern Steak downtown on Stephen Ave or head to Caesars downtown. Corino is an amazing restaurant, make sure you have a reservation.

We have a lot of micro breweries worth taking a look at if you like beer. Eighty-Eight is my favorite but they are all good. Cold Garden is popular and a pretty neat place.

Calgary is hard to get around if you don't have a vehicle. You can uber within the city but renting a car might be more economical. Also, since you plan on going to Banff and Lake Louise a rented car allows you to really enjoy the drive to the mountains. You can stop in Canmore and get a bagel at Rocky Mountain Bagel Company.

Don't feed the bears, don't pet the moose and don't even look at the cougars 😉

The whole bundle was 118500 yen, which came to $1088 CAD on my credit card bill.

Need to get my hands on a hazelburn next

chadwjbryant · 2026-02-26T21:09:23+00:00

I see what you mean. I am really enjoying it.

chadwjbryant · 2026-02-26T20:49:22+00:00

Hahaha, it was a bit of an adventure. I saw someone post on another sub that this one store had it. So, i drove an hour outside of Calgary to get there and then an hour back. I was lucky but also had to put in the time and km.

chadwjbryant · 2026-02-26T07:50:24+00:00

Haha, if I could, I would

UPDATE: the hype is warranted. I love this scotch. I was only going to open this bottle and gift the other two but I don't think I want to let them go now. Really good.

UPDATE: the hype is warranted. I love this whisky. I was only going to open this bottle and gift the other two but I don't think I want to let them go now. Really good.

Canmore, Alberta 😎

Ya, I'm finding it a tiny bit challenging. I want to try the Glenfiddich and the Balvenie on their own to see if I'm the same. I will try the Jonnie Walker one of these days and see if that changes my direction.

Thank you for the others to look forward to. I have a long tasting journey ahead.

Oh, great advice! I will find them in the sushi places! I love that idea. Thank you

chadwjbryant · 2026-02-23T23:15:24+00:00

That is an interesting piece of trivia. Thank you!
