MS scotch event is coming up. I won't be going this year, but quality event, with some neat stuff in addition to a ridiculous variety of scotch. They had a few ryes, and even some cider last year.

Do you like smoky/peaty or a bit softer? I not into the real smoky stuff so I prefer the Balvenie 14yr Caribbean Cask. I'm also drinking the Dalmore 12 Year single malt right now which has been a good change up. Both come in right at $100CAD I think.Originally posted by Inzane

Not a scotch, but my favorite whiskey is my Suntory Hibiki Japanese Harmony.
In the $95 range, I'm a huge fan of the Lagavulin 8-year, 200yr edition.

I love that Balvenie. Is it over $100 now? I remember when it was ~$75-85.
I was going to treat myself soon and had my eye on the following:
Tomatin 18yr
Glenfarclas 17yr
Glenmorangie 18yr
Aultmore bottled by Duncan Taylor Dimensions (tried this a couple years ago at a tasting)
On the blended side I'm still curious about Johnnie Walker Platinum 18yr, (however at the price you could almost get two bottles of Green Label, which is probably better anyway).

The green is good but the Platinum is much better. Platinum can usually be found pretty cheap in duty frees (which doesn't help you right now) so keep an eye out for it when travelling. It is definitely worth picking up when on sale.Originally posted by Inzane

Recently had some Auchentoshan Three Wood and was surprised. Enjoyable and smooth, obviously not as peaty as I like it but it was a nice change. Overall quite impressed.

Killing off the Tomatin 18 right now. A nice and complex scotch. A bit too smoky for me but the people that I shared it with seemed to like it alot.
The Glenmorangie 18 is really smooth. Doesn't taste like an 18YO though, but not bad for the price ($105 @ superstore).
The JW Platinum is so much better than the Gold and IMO better than the Blue. Shame they are getting more and more expensive. My last bottle was $99USD for 1L at a Duty Free at 1.05 Exchange. Not sure if it's $150 good now.

It may not be $100 - It's $76 USD down here so I just converted it.Originally posted by Inzane

FYI guys KWM Xmas sale is on this weekend. 10% all whiskies. A great time to buy the Aberfeldy 21!!Originally posted by 89coupe
Checked my visa statement and it was $190 for the Aberfeldy & $127 for the Glengoyne.
I called that Kensington liquor store and they do indeed have the Aberfeldy for $120 a bottle, smoking deal.
