Picked up some Aberlour 12 , haven't had a chance to make it to Costco yet for the Kirkland.

Big fan of the Aberlour so far!

Good, but not as good as the Larceny Barrel Proof bourbon I posted in the bourbon thread.

Costco has Kirkland 24yr speyside sherry cask right now for $94. Should be really solid if you’re into that kinda thing (the 20yr is not bad at all). I expect it will sell out soon; the 20 yr only lasted a couple weeks.

Yea, it's a good whisky for the price. I really want to find a NCF 48% version but I can only find it for 50% more expensive than the normal Aberlour 12 which doesn't seem worth it.

Scotchy Scotchy Scotch.

A little reward to myself for completing dry January (actually just trying to get ahead of stock outs and inflation.

Was pleasantly surprised with the Arran 10 as it's an older bottle (2014?) and 1L when I thought it was a 0.7!

[davidI]

Great deal at Co-Op on the Benromach 10.

Glenmorangie 'A Tale Of Winter' available at Willow Park. Haven't tried it yet but I know it is difficult to get and last years version 'A Tale of Cake' was worth it. Disclaimer: I'm a Glenmorangie fan so may be bias:

Willow park scotch sale, anything on here with picking up? Lots I haven't had

So tempted by the Octomore... by far my favorite scotch. I have been slowly savoring a bottle I bought a little while ago.

The Peat's Beast is surprisingly good for the price. Not a crazy good price though. It's the same price as Zyn and I've seen it cheaper at Craft.

Tomatin Decades II is pretty neat for the price if you are into that old whisky taste.

Everything else is not that exciting IMO.

I swung by and grabbed a bottle of the Bowmore 15 and Craig 13 because cheap

[LongCity]

I want the Oonouch but hoping it’ll be cheaper elsewhere or be able to get it on discount.

How much was the Craig 13?

It's been difficult to find in Spain so I picked up a bottle yesterday in Dubai Duty Free. 242 AED (C$83) for 1L.

if you catch the right sale, they are ~$50 for a 750ml bottle here.

That's a great price.

Yeah I paid $54 for the Craig 13. $83 for a litre not too bad at all though either.

Nah, compared to all the other options I figured it was fair. Although Laphroaig Four Oak was another consideration.

I'm just surprised how much Craig 13 costs in the UK and Europe relative to other Scotches and how cheap it is in Canada relative to other Scotches.

I finally found the Aberlour NCF for <50€ and decided to go for it. It's expected whisky prices will be going up due to the higher cost of grains and since I tend to prefer Scotch for the colder winter months I picked up some Bourbon/Irish bottles for the summer as well.

Damn, nice! I’ve been hoping to find that on the shelves for years now but I don’t think it ever came or is coming here haha
