    A client gave me this the other day.

    Any good?
    Why wouldn't you just open it and TRY it yourself?

    I bought the Glengoyne 18Yr about couple of months ago I don't like it.
    I expected it to be smooth but IMO it is not

    Interesting. Have you had the 12yo? How does it compare?

    I like the 12y a fair bit but haven't tried the 18.

    Couldn't resist adding a few more to the collection. The An Oa and Quinta Ruban were on for a great price and I've been watching for the Clynelish 14 and GlenAllachie to become available for a while so had to pull the trigger.

    I'll be back in Canada in a couple of weeks and plan to explore Canadian whiskies while I'm back.

    I saw a great deal on the Forty Creek Confederation Oak and Century 15/25 at Coop World of Whisky so already ordered those. Hoping to track down the Lot 40 Dark Oak and maybe a couple Alberta Premium products as well.

    It looks like Zyn.ca has the best prices and Craft Cellar / BSW Liquor have the best selection. Any other recommendations for places to look? Kensington Wine Market seems excessively priced and Co-Op only looks good if they have sales on.

    I never tried the 12 Yr.
    Don't get me wrong it is good but being 18 Yr old I expected it to be much smoother.

    Happy I built up my collection as this indicates to me Scotch prices and availability are only going to get worse...

    KWM is the best place for Independent bottling stuff, especially all the KWM casks. Never really had a bad KWM bottling. Andrew really knows how to pick them. Their recent G&M Ardmore and 1991 Morlach (don't remember bottler) are both spectacular. I wouldn't say they are excessively priced, but just regular price unless you are able to catch one of their store-wide sales, which is only ~ twice a year I think. They just had one in May so you won't see one til closer to Xmas.

    Zyn has the best regular prices and its nice you can see everything online. The first Tuesday of every month they do an in-store only sale on ALL their stuff. If you are in town, go on that day. At least 5% off whatever they have listed, which is pretty good.

    Craft has a decent selection (not the best) but consistently have a bunch of stuff on sale. They also run their 15% online promo at least once every couple of months, so if you plan ahead you can almost get whatever you see online for 15% off.

    COOP World of Whisky in downtown will have the biggest selection you will ever see in your life. Probably bigger than Zyn, Craft, and KWM put together. Mostly standard bottlings though and 99% just regular price. So if you are bargain hunting, you wont find much there, but it's still worth checking out, especially if you are hunting for something specific. Everything Thurs (I think) afternoon they have in-store testing on 3-4 bottles and 10% off those if you buy.

    Wine & Beyond in Sagehill has quite a decent selection as well. Rarely any sales though. Not worth a trip unless you are in the area.

    Crowfoot Wine & Sprits in NW Crowfoot mall is a hidden gem. They have quite a decent selection and don't advertise/no online store, so if you are lucky you might find some surprises there. However never on sale, so you might find some harder to find stuff, but regular priced.

    Another notable mention is Willow Park Main store in the south or Liquor Depot on 17ave SW

    Calgary is a wonderful place to go whisky shopping. one of the best in the world.

    I dont follow whisky/bourbon too closely. Mostly a scotch guy. If there are specific bottles you are looking for, let me know and I can keep an eye out for you.

    Willowpark always has sales? Willowpark also have a massive amount of independent bottlings and a fantastic relationship with distillers. Willowpark needs more respect here

    Also first stop for any shopping has to be superstore, if they have it, it’s the best deal in town on that bottle

    Superstore and Costco are my go to's for non-sale scotch/whiskey. Willowpark now and then has some decent sales during which I pick up a few bottles a year

    This sale is for the poor folk. The rich people already got theirs at full price.
