    Interesting. Anyone seen it around? Might as well try a bottle at this price.

    I just ordered (I think the last one) from Craft Cellars. Have to drive all the way to the NE to pick it up, but also got a bottle of GlenDronach 2009 Vintage Single Malt on sale for $63.

    Hope they can fill the order of the Alberta stuff, I'm interested to try it.

    Just placed an order online through Coop. No idea if its actually available. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I try and pick it up.

    Went to Shawnessy co-op this evening for a bottle of it, sold out, called auburn and also sold out. Called quarry park and they said they had a couple bottles left, got there and they were keeping it behind the counter.

    Might be hard to find pretty quick, another fellow came in looking for it while I was talking to the till clerk in Shawnessy.

    Shit I ordered online from Auburn Bay Coop. Never got an email saying it wasn't available but I'm not sure how their system works.

    YMMV but they send a bunch of emails; one saying the order was successfully placed, one saying it’s ready for pick up, then a final order summary. If something is sold out at your pick up location, they’ll call you and let you know or send an email notification. I’ve had both instances take place.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that is my buddy who I asked to grab me a bottle and throw it in storage until I can make it to Canada.

    Got the phone call today that the order has been cancelled. They have removed it from online as well now because of high demand. She did advise that they would be getting a small quantity tomorrow morning but you have to come in to purchase it.

    The only thing controversial is people keep using the SCOTCH thread to talk about whiskies other than scotch!

    The Jim Murray effect. Though, most serious whisky drinkers don’t like him, his name and words hold a lot of weight. He sent the Crown Royal flying off the shelves when he named it whiskey of the year.

    Meh, at least it's still whisky - not whiskey

    Good news is that the reviews I've watched of this year's choice are much better than the CR Northern Harvest. Seems like Jim got this one right, at least from a quality for money perspective.

    I assume Jim always gets sent bottles from distillers to review - I often wonder if Diageo sent him a much nicer bottle of Northern Harvest than typical on purpose or whether it was just batch inconsistency.

    My theory is pay to win... or a lifetime of consumption has made him a raving lunatic... or simply naming mediocre Canadian ryes is just the right amount of controversy to keep him relevant

    I don't know that the testing protocols are for the Whisky Bible, but I thought it was interesting when I read that Cigar Aficionado (sister publication to Whisky Advocate) will retail purchase any smoke that they're reviewing, so ensure a genuine product is being reviewed, and there are no 'ringers'.

    It's in such high demand, the liquor store made me hide it in my cart, after checkout, and while carrying it to the car. They received over 300 phone calls about it.I was also told only Co-op will have it, since they had 72 cases in storage, someone accidentally ordered last year, and has been sitting around on a pallet, once those are gone, that's it for a while. Liquor connect (alberta distribution company) has 250 cases, but they're locked down by the owners right now, so when they are released, expect them to cost much more.

    I also heard some co-op liquor stores haven't even received their orders (of the 72) yet, so keep an eye out.

    I feel like if I didn't get my hands on one on the initial news, no point putting in too much effort into it especially if there is going to be a hike in price. Not like there isn't 100s of other tasty options to sip on. Who cares what one dude has to say, lol.

    Glad I snagged one the other night, but I don't regularly drink rye so busy a yolo purchase for me, I like peaty scotch.

    But for the price point and the award, why not. Also because 'berta.

    Will most likely sample it tonight.

    It's funny, it usually only wins, because it's one of the last "100% rye" products out there, and while the distillery is local, the owners are out of Chicago (Beam Suntory).

    Got an email that said my order is ready, so assuming they actually set aside their last one for me. I’m not really a rye guy, but worth a shot for the price. Now I just have to set aside some time to make the trek to the wrong side of Deerfoot.
