    They are all pretty similar TBH. the ones ending in #.3 are probably the peatiest of the bunch, and they are like 58-60%abv, but they are all good.

    If you dont mind going out of your way, the 7.3 is probably the one to get as it's a bit more rare and is 63% abv and 169ppm for "peatiness" (FYI Laga 16 is around 35ppm). He is going to taste peat the next morning after he wakes up I can guarantee that. I think they only have a few at either Wine and Beyond at Sage Hill, the Liquor Depot at Brentwood .. maybe. http://calgary.liquordirect.ca/Search.aspx?k=octomore

    Otherwise you can't go wrong with any of them.
    Can confirm.
    Currently had multiple glasses of the 7.3 and am train wrecked on the whole experience.
    I'm blown away that something so strong, could carry us away a hey hey.

    How was it?

    I wish we carried the ECBP here. At least as far as I know we don’t.

    I quite enjoyed it, fully body, rich flavour, sweet notes, smooth finish.

    Would recommend

    My "whiskey glass" broke while camping, so my wife found me a new one more suitable to our 70's trailer... The tits move with every sip, lol. Currently enjoying some Kirkland in it.Name:  DSC_0447_resize_91.jpg

    No barrel proof unfortunately. I tried it in Louisville and it certainly tastes like getting punched in the face by oak. I loved it. If you want a better version of the base Elijah Craig, it might be worth wandering into some of the hole in the wall liquor stores in the province. There may be some dusty 12 year age stated versions still kicking around. I killed my last bottle of that one recently.

    Or, both Liquor Depot and Kensington Wine Market have released barrel picks of the small batch in the last year. I've thoroughly enjoyed the KWM pick.

    @89coupe do you ever try any of the scotch you drink without ice first? I'm not judging as sometimes I use ice and sometimes I don't but I just noticed in all your pics there is always ice.

    I find it brings out the flavour and aroma more.

    Putting ice in a glass of 600$ bottle of Scotch is a sin and punishable with montecristo burns in untold areas.

    Haha, I tried it neat as well but prefer drinking all my whisky on ice. I find it just smells and tastes better.

    People who want to tell you how to drink your beverage are jerks. Ice away buddy. I splash soda in mine.

    I find if you use ice, every sip is slightly more diluted than the last, so when you pour another glass, it's as delicious as the first sip of the previous one. If I drink it full strength, the second glass isn't nearly as "wow" as the first one.

    Putting ice in $$$$$$ Scotch vs putting in a couple of drops of purified water (esp with Cask strength) are different things.

    Meh... The man bought it, he can drink it as he pleases. Just because you or I wouldn't do it doesn't mean he is wrong. That said, it is always fun to give a guy a bit of ribbing as well!
