JamesNYC Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Ordered them online. They were around $65 each. The 105 was $40 each and the Knockando 21 was around $63. I couldn't believe the Knockando was so cheap. Can I ask where you got the 105? That's a great price. 1
Popular Post JamesNYC Posted September 19, 2015 Popular Post Posted September 19, 2015 Still new to the site, and just saw this thread today. I got 12 bottles recently, and here is a pic minus a couple of bottles, including 10 and 12 year (cask strength) Springbank: 5
dangolf18 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Unreal prices! 57 is 175 here....lol If I lived in Canada, I'd probably give up alcohol. Who can afford such high prices? Is it meant to support local spirits? Is Canadian whiskey taxed at all?
skarolla Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 If I lived in Canada, I'd probably give up alcohol. Who can afford such high prices? Is it meant to support local spirits? Is Canadian whiskey taxed at all?All 'sin' luxuries are taxed to the **** in an effort to curb addiction. It doesn't work, it just gets the government more money. All alcohol is taxed, smoking indoors is completely banned in some provinces such as Alberta where I live. No cigar lounges even. The only place you can smoke indoors is at casinos on Indian Resevations. Even then you can only smoke cigars in one and that's outside Calgary near Banff. BUT that has allowed some serious brothers such as @rye to setup an amazing annual indoor event. Google Rocky Mountain Smokeout. Herf at top of a mountain anyone?

sengjc Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Lagavulin 16 Year Old - a classic malt and one of Diageo's finest. Been a while since I last got a bottle of this - usually mooching some from my other whisky drinking mates. Since it is on special at one of the local bottle-o, why not. 2

kooser1574 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Is this peaty?No not at all. Very smooth. I drank it on ice, I might wait a night or two and have it neat. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
JohnS Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 No not at all. Very smooth. I drank it on ice, I might wait a night or two and have it neat. Wow...on ice? Good luck to you, there are those who wouldn't even add a single drop of water to their choice of single malt!

Good luck to you, there are those who wouldn't even add a single drop of water to their choice of single malt!Yeah I know...... I've never had it before and the guy that gave it to me drinks a lot of scotch and he suggested on ice. I'm definitely going to drink neat and go from there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2

Started drinking it neat but it was too strong so I added 1 ice cube. Made it just right. 2
Guest rob Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 My Lark HOF bottle arrived and then ran across a couple 200ml bottles so just picked them up. I was at the Lark Distillery on the weekend. Quite a nice bunch of affable, friendly, enthusiastic and passionate blokes. I got to have a sniff down the barrel the Hall of Fame whisky was finished in, and I can tell you it was a beauty. The sample they generously gave me confirmed - it's a beautifully crafted whisky. Hailing from working at Distilleries in Scotland, and with his most recent stint at Bruichladdich - the extremely personable and passionate Craig, the head distiller (after Bill Lark himself) has as much experience as anyone in the industry. He said the 'hands on' nature of making whisky at Lark was where his heart was. Not mechanized and automated as most Scotch distilleries now were. And sharing drams and listening to tales of the Tassie whisky industry with them at the end of the night (after they finished work) was a highlight!
sengjc Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 @rob I see you are cheekily helping yourself to liberal amounts of whisky when the others' backs were turned.
Guest rob Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 @rob I see you are cheekily helping yourself to liberal amounts of whisky when the others' backs were turned. Lol... That is Ian, from Lark - who was very generous. Really great crew of folk, who are passionate about their craft. I'll be keeping an eye on them, and supporting them as they move forward.

JohnS Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Never tried it but after reading lots of good things I thought I'd give it a go. If you like peaty single malts, you know...with a salty edge, you'll enjoy this. I had the pleasure of a drop on the weekend.

Trying it out now with a PSD4. I normally need to add an ice cube or 2 or some water to my whisky but this is fantastic neat. I haven't been a fan of peaty scotch in the past but I think my tastes are changing. Seems to pair well with the cigar too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Scrubber Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Excellent choice again. ***** Whisky From The Barrel is a favourite Japanese whisky on our forum. Again, one of my favourite 'go to' whiskies! Thanks. Actually saw you recommend it in a thread some where which is why I thought I'd give it a go. Been checking out some of the threads and seeing what seems to be popular. Loving everyone's cigar tastes so I assumed their whisky tastes would be spot on too. Might have a taste tonight. Might sneak in a cigar too of the rain holds off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
