The Scotch Thread

[Inzane]

Had a dram of this last night. Great stuff and still reasonably priced last time I looked.

All the Springbank stuff is selling out like crazy, with KWM only doing lottery draws and what not.

Just picked up a bottle of Kilkerran 16yo from Craft Cellars. A tad expensive imo but will probably regret it later not getting one when I had the chance. It's still showing in stock if anyone is interested.

They’re being slimy. Charging $20-55 more than competitors. The SB12CS at Crowfoot was ~$115 before tax. Others went up to ~$130, or so. They want $170…

I thought about the Kilkerran 16, as well, but knowing they are gouging, I think I will pass. They always add an extra $10-15 over competitors, which isn’t a big deal, as I find it more annoying they are cool with doing that to customers, but understand they are a business to make profit and they’ll mostly sell out in 10 mins.

If something sells out in 10 minutes, it's priced too low. Jack that shit up bros.

Yeah I would agree with that too... I guess it was just FOMO since it's not just they sell out quickly at the competitors, but KWM is actually doing lottery draws on them. Actually KWM didn't even do that. KWM just did a draw on SB10 and SB15, but then offered those people a chance to pick the Kilkerran 16 or SB 18 as well instead. I didn't even have a chance!

I wish I live closer to Crowfoot. Would love to pop by once in a while to see what they got, but not sure if it's worth the $10 in gas each time lol.

Excellent at this price point. Can easily be found at $45 - $55 (Safeway/Sobeys regularly puts it on sale).

Whiffs of clove, oak & mild peat. Not may favourite that’s for sure.

I've got a bottle of this. Great value IMO. A younger peaty Islay with a bit of that sour cabbage funkiness that reminds me of Ledaig.

The fake bokeh gives me a headache.

I can’t imagine what the scotch would do to you

4 x 200ml Johnnie Walker available at Superstore for $89.98 (if you spend more then $75 on scotch you get 12000 PC points which is a $12 value in store)

[Strider]

They'll price match Costco's $80 if there are any stores left with stock (they'll phone to verify).

Day 9

Sour, sherry finish, spice, meh.

Make me enjoy it?

This is making me feel pretty good about my decision not to buy the advent calendar this year.

We did a little whiskey tasting two weeks back and split two of the advent scotch calendars from KWM - this actually was our favorite amongst many other more higher end bottles.

Day 10

Peat, smoke, pepper, with a sherry finish. It’s ok

[ExtraSlow]

I'm shocked you aren't using a norlan glass.

I have really nice crystal scotch glasses but this came with the calendar, so why not use it.

If you have the chance try some of the other Old Pultneys as well. Also noticed yesterday Superstore carries this and it was regular price $44-$45.

Day 11

I’m way behind.

Smooth, light, hints of citrus and chocolate with a little spice.
