[B]Alright now I know this is an old thread, but I need some help.

I had a scotch that I really enjoyed and naturally I forgot the name.

How about:
-Laphroaig 10
-Caol Ila 12 or
-Ardbeg 10?

How much is a bottle JW blue label in Alberta? I drive through Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.

A bottle is $240 in BC, wonderign if I can get it cheaper in Alberta. It's for a celebration when label whoreing is ok for this one time I feel.

I was in Superstore earlier today to get another bottle of HP 12 and price for JWBlue was $180.99

sounds like Lagavulin to me

Just want to confirm it was indeed the Lagavulin 16 I was looking for.

The Keg only charged $6.95 / oz for it, not sure if that was a mistake or not.

Has anyone tried the Japanese Single Malt Whisky, Yamazaki?

There was a big display in the Frankfurt Airport Duty Free shop saying that it won some awards.

Sidenote: Never knew Strathisla was apart of the Chivas blend. My girlfriend gave a bottle of Strathisla (12yr) to my parents as a house warming gift and was very well received.

The Bowmores are my fav, Mariner 15 yr, great with seafood, lighter for those nice summer evenings, Bowmore 12 is a great well rounded but smoky scotch, and the Bowmore cask 56% is very toffee like, almost burnt tasting, yet refreshing in a violent way. Lagavullin 16 yr. is a bit warmer, as is Strathisla 12, which IMO is enjoyed best at room temperature, neat. I've also tried Glen Garioch, Laphroaig, Talisker, but IMHO Bowmore has a Scotch for every taste, budget and occasion.

I know this is an old thread that keeps getting revived, but it's full of good info.

I have to say I agree on the bowmore. I picked up the 12 year old for a little more of an everyday scotch, as I have some lagavullin 16 for more special occasions. For less than half the price of the lagavullin, I am very happy with the bowmore 12. I love smokey scotches.

Go for the Laphroaig Quarter Cask matured. Smokey goodness.

I just picked one of these from Home Outfitters for $6.95. Maybe it was placebo but it seriously felt as if it enhanced the drink.

Willow Park sells them for ~$22
Kensington Wine Market ~$17

Does it have Glencarin etched reverse into the bottom so the base magnifies the words when placed on a table? If so, I'm going to Home Outfitters.

Ya it most certainly does. This was the store in Regina though, I can't remember if it was a sale or not.

I'm going to pick up a few more if I can.
