Wonder if the pandemic has something to do with the pricing. Shipping is getting more expensive and demand for household liquor has increased from what I read

Damn, that must have been a really long time ago. The lowest I remember seeing the Lag 16 at RCLS was ~$90 and that was around 2, maybe 3, years ago. It’s just under $100 now.Quote:

I think Lag 16 was $86 the last time I bought some from Costco a month or so ago
That was actually the purpose of my visit haha. See if it was still kicking aroundQuote:

I put most of my whiskey bottles into storage until winter other than some cheap Bourbon / Irish stuff for cocktails.
However, I've been scoring big at the Supermarket here the last few days.
I've been buying bottles of Glendronach 12 for 44 Euros which I don't think is that bad of a price for how nice of a whisky it is. The other day I gifted a bottle to a mate and there were only 2 bottles left on the shelf at the supermarket so I figured I better pick-up another in case they ran out. They also had a Glenrothes Whisky Maker's Cut for 40% off at 34 Euros so I thought, why they hell not? Threw it in storage until the Fall.
Today I returned to the same supermarket and the last bottle of Glendronach 12 was 50% off - only 22 Euros!!! Score. 2 bottles of Glendronie in storage until the Fall.
They also had a deal on a Spanish Whisky - DYC 8. I've had it on a hot day on the rocks before and didn't think it was half bad so picked up a bottle for only 12 Euros. Holy shit, at that price - it's better than not bad. It could easily pass for a $30+ Speyside. They had Suntory Toki for 25 Euros as well but I think this DYC 8 is actually quite a bit better than that. Plus, it's cheap enough to throw in an Old Fashioned (which I'm enjoying now).
I'm going to have to track down the older DYC blends but damn they're dangerous at that price.

Picked these 2 bottles up a few weeks ago when they were on sale.
The old P is an interesting bottle, kinda all over the place with taste.
The Glen bourbon cask bottle is good, can definitely taste the bourbon element
Both are good additions to break up my collection which is mainly peaty.

The craziness of the world's politics and current market returns drove me to put in a big order yesterday... 18-hours later this arrived.

Scotch is getting shelved until the fall but lots of bourbon to sample this summer.
Edit: That 18-year Allardice may be my first investment bottle - figure it can't be worse than holding cash right now. It's the 2019 bottling which means it should be entirely 24+ year whisky. https://wordsofwhisky.com/glendronac...he-label-says/
It's a great bottle. Does it say distilled or bottled in Vermont? Curious if they have enough of their own distilled juice for their core range yet, or if they're still buying AB Premium distillate. I laughed a few years ago when I bought up a store pick Whistlepig 10 that was distilled in SE Calgary, barrel aged in Vermont and barrel picked/sold by a store in Dallas, only to be brought back to Calgary.Quote:

For other rye, be on the lookout for High West's Midwinter Night's Dram. It's the first it's been available in the country in many years (4 or 5 I think). Allegedly not as good as when they were sourcing more aged whiskey, but it's also quite a bit cheaper now (used to be ~$165, now $130 and was on sale at Highlander for $110 yesterday).
