Same, I'm all over the place. I've actually been moving away from the peat right now. I'm a big fan of the Japanese whiskys, and I'm loving bourbons these days.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Try the Tullibarbine 225 I posted a pic of. It is almost a dessert scotch being finished in sauternes casks. The Gelnmorangie Nector d'or as well. If you like the sweeter, no peat side of things you will enjoy these! I like them all!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Peat or not, I like them all. It just depends on the time of the day, or the season. A light whisky over dinner or while watching TV, or a peaty one to sip on by the fireplace or outside with a cigar.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My go-to peated whiskies are definitly anything Laphroaig (Cairdeas, Quarter Cask, etc..all good), Laga 8yo, and Octomore (I can only have half a dram at a time.. it's just too much, but so good)
My go-to sherry whiskies are the Aberlour A'bundah or Springbank ( 12 yo Cask Strength is so good)
My go-to non-peated whiskies at the moment are Kavalan Solist Ex-Bourbon and Glenmorangie Milsean.
Other ones I really like are the Compass Box Flaming Heart (both 2015 and 2018 releases), a 10yo Bunnahabhain (Wilson and Morgon 2001/2011 sherry cask), and Glenfiddich Experimental Series Fire and Cane.
Not measly at all! And thank you.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Thanks! I haven't had the 18 yet but I have had the 14 and was a little underwhelmed. I know older doesn't mean better but thats what I'm hoping for in this case haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

That is extremely aesthetically pleasing to look at.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
A bunch more, unopened, bottles from the last 6 months or so. I know I need to start cracking them but I don't wanna have too many bottles opened at once. I know there isn't an issue with that, if there is a good amount still in the bottle, but having so many opened at once makes the decision harder on what to drink. Also, can't finish bottles fast enough without it being an issue to my health
I wish I could find another bottle of the Misean... I fucking destroyed mine in a week and now can't find anymore! It is a brilliant sweet candy whisky...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yeah I haven't seen one in a while.. Maybe 17ave Liquor depot but that was a good few months ago... I'm heading there today so I'll keep an eye out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I grabbed another Balvenie Doublewood, Macallan double cask, and the Dalmore 15

I can eat more hot wings than you.
Picked up a Carn Morn 18 year finished in a bourbon cask. I just finished my previous sherry cask one, so I'm stoked to try it.
$150 - 25% off is best.

Just added this to the collection, a gift.
Just got the Oban 14. Wanted the Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or or Tomatin 14 but I would've had to drive all the way down to Mt. Royal to get it. Thought about the doublewood but I put on my gift exchange wish list instead :PThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Went to two stores and they both had crappy selection which was sad to see.
Best selection of the day goes to the Banff store. Blew my mind, more than Brentwood maybe.

Usually only Brentwood and the 17th Ave locations are worth it, in Calgary.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I goofed big time. Wasn’t expecting to see the Red Breast 12 CS (I know, not a Scotch) but as soon as I saw it, I got a phone call and stupidly didn’t grab the bottle. Walked around while on the phone and when I got off and went back to the aisle, it was gone. Asked two different employees if they could check but the locations that had them were too far away.
Checked out both 17ave and Brentwood location and nothing too exciting. I think ever since they opened up Wine and Beyond in Sage Hill and started using that location as their flag ship scotch (and wine) store, they haven't been replenishing the stock at the other liquor depot locations with the new releases. It was pretty much all the same stuff as ~ a year ago with a few exceptions like the Macallans, so I already picked through most of what I wanted during last year's big sale.
With that said, I did pick up a bottle of Linkwood 19yo (Independent bottling). Always been a fan of Linkwood and $105 for a 48% abv 19yo seems worthy of a gamble.
Latest bottle to the collection, another gift.
