For the single malt lover
 

I come across liquor store on on work trip quite a bit. I usually go and check out the local mom/pop shops for dusty bottles at cheap old prices. Some times I strike out, other I hit gold.

What are some of your recent grabs?

Here's a few from the last trip

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Those are some nice grabs!

Re: For the single malt lover
 

I've been told the Caol Ila is the best islay scotch there is. Nice grabs

Re: For the single malt lover
 

While I do love Caol Ila especially DE, I would have to say Argbeg for me is the best, the Ten is my go to just something about the oily dram I crave. I am a peathead through and through . I do really love almost all the Islay's along with Islands.

Re: For the single malt lover
 

I have had the Caol Ila... YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Some fantastic aged Islays from here:

Highly recommended. They have a lot of Caol Ila and Laffies bottlings worth checking out!

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Not sure being in Canada I could use them for bottles. I am going to poke around now to see . Thanks for link

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Oh yessir you can! Canadian site is smws.ca
PM me and I can provide details of how to make it work.
(I'm in Winnipeg and have no issue procuring bottles)

Re: For the single malt lover
 

You know what after taking a look, I have seen quite a bit of their bottling in Calgary at kensington wine market.

Re: For the single malt lover
 

The Arbeg looks new. Their Corrywrecken is superb. I'd be interested if this one has the same grip.

That's a great find.

Good show on the Macallans - this is the last of the age statement bottlings for Canada.

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Yeah thats why I got a couple these are '93, '94 so they were bottled a couple years a go, not much here in Edmonton that isn't already jacked up in price. The Ardbeg is new from "Ardbeg days" back at the end of May. Corrywrecken was good but I think they have better offerings from the distillery. Cant wait for Supernova's release in about a month, Manitoba is suppose to release it tomorrow FYI.


PM sent as well

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Yep - they run SMWS.ca - Andrew Fergusson would be your man. Tastings every first Friday at the store. If you like cask strength and something different....

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Picked up 2 bottles of Macallan whiskey makers edition in the DR -- which is my favorite
And was gifted this bottle of aberfeldy from a buddy

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Nice gift, have you has it before?

Re: For the single malt lover
 

When and pre-ordered a couple bottles of Supernova and this followed me home.

Re: For the single malt lover
 

Where did you find that! Kensington is still waiting, and has no price yet. Give it a try - is it bigger than the Corrywrecken?
