acidbasement Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 WAT. http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/canada/manitoba/story/1.3328260 I'll have to try this out. Quote
acidbasement Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 I was wondering that myself. The last cheap Canadian whisky he recommended was nothing special. This one though... that's an insanely high score. Same as he gave the Oogie if I'm not mistaken. If I can find it I'll file a report, sirs and ma'am. Quote
naamanf Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 My local liquor store has 9 cases. $30 a bottle. If the wife gets home in time I will go get one. Maybe I should send an Uber to pick it up for me. 4 Quote
acidbasement Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Have a bottle on hold for me at a nearby store. Will provide a review in haiku form later tonight. 1 Quote

acidbasement Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 It's really good. It doesn't taste like a cheap Canadian whisky. I'd say it's in the same style as Bulleit rye, and probably a bit better. I'll buy it again if the price doesn't skyrocket. Quote

luvdunhill Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 Probably should round out Naaman's wish list: 6 Quote
shellylh Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Posted January 20, 2016 The Yoichi 15 and Yamazaki 18 are great! Good choices. How did you like the Scapa 14? I have a bottle of Scapa 16 and don't find myself reaching for it much. Quote
Aura Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 More AWESOME news in the world of bourbon... http://www.fredminnick.com/2016/01/20/2198/ If you like Elijah Craig 12 year, better get it now. Latest non age statement casualty, and I must say the absolutely worst one it could happen to. My transition to single malt continues... Quote

I have a bottle of Scapa 16 and don't find myself reaching for it much. Does the 16 have a similar flavor profile to the 14? I know the 14 was only around for a short time. I would guess it's sherried, but I can't find anyone online describing it that way. Quote
cetoole Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 How many cases are you gonna get Bryan? Quote

luvdunhill Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Looking at the prices in Japan, I don't think we should be so quick to blame the hipsters. I think the Japanese are re-importing the stuff Grabbed some low brow stuff 1 Quote

Well, compared to the 250,000¥ price tag on the high-end stuff The bartenders I spoke to said that Yamazaki 18 at $300 US is a good buy, in Japan. So, don't be so quick to blame the hipsters 1 Quote
naamanf Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 We still will. They raised the price in Japan. Worldwide hipster conspiracy. 1 Quote
