Had a Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask given to me yesterday as a gift so I had to crack it open last night! Very enjoyable! Lots of cane and fruit notes to it. Will work on it more over the holidays...

Anything decent in stores right now before Christmas?
Haven't had a chance to go to Costco or other liquor stores with good selection but I remembering seeing some uncommon stuff during this time of year.

Lol. I assume that's a typo and not 2019.
Either way, I wonder what's so special about the 74 other than because there is only 1.

Been wanting to try this one for a little bit now

Just grabbed the Glenmorangie Astar and the Arran Port cask. The Cardhu 12 was a Christmas gift. Totally was not on my radar but was super surprised how much I like it! Great value at sub $80...

@tirebob let me know how the Glenmorangie Astar is. I'm a big Glenmorangie fan but haven't tried this one. Also I sent you a PM regarding some wheels I'm looking for.

+1 I'm super happy with this, managed to pick it up when Liquor Depot had their 20% off sale earlier this month for $75.

On the other hand, I had the chance to taste the Macallan 12 over the holidays and thought it was gross.

We need a sake thread so I can get some recommendations.

Usually only Brentwood and the 17th Ave locations are worth it, in Calgary.

I goofed big time. Wasn’t expecting to see the Red Breast 12 CS (I know, not a Scotch) but as soon as I saw it, I got a phone call and stupidly didn’t grab the bottle. Walked around while on the phone and when I got off and went back to the aisle, it was gone. Asked two different employees if they could check but the locations that had them were too far away.

Liquor Depot's Altadore, Westhills (the one beside Indigo North of Richmond, not the one South as there's 2x in the complex) and West Springs locations are pretty good as well. Not Brentwood good, but massively better than the hole in the wall Liquor Depots and they do have a respectable whisk(e)y section. You can occasionally find some older, rare or underpriced stuff in there because they don't move quite as quick as the big locations.

That said, I don't understand why Liquor Depot doesn't have a separate brand for their shitty stores. The range from dank shitholes to really nice locations with unbelievable selection is aggravating, and I will usually avoid any Liquor Depot I don't know what I'm walking into.

And Red Breast 12 CS is a fantastic bottle. I picked one up from Liquor Depot a year ago when they were blowing them out for something absurd like $60.

Haha! I know right? I like that too! I have probably 40 to 50 bottles of just scotch going nowadays let alone other liquors, and they is not a single one which has not been cracked and tasted. I really need to do a current tally on the collection! haha!
