What on earth is that Whisky? I don’t remember ever having seen that one...Second double Windsor and Ginger of the night. Started as my mixing whiskey in college since it was $12 for a handle and have been using it for my mixed drinks ever since!

Cheap blend out of ADL. Runs around $14 for a 1.75 here in the US. Not anything I'd drink neat, but I much prefer it to Canadian Club, Crown Royal or similar when it comes to mixing.What on earth is that Whisky? I don’t remember ever having seen that one...
We do sell it but I have never noticed it. Thanks for the info though. I have a bottle of 12 year old Canadian Club that was bottled in 1978 originally shipped in a decanter that I might just open at Christmas. I like Canadian Classic 12 as a cheap sipper neat.Cheap blend out of ADL. Runs around $14 for a 1.75 here in the US.

ADL doesn't export Alberta Premium to the States but last time I was in Quebec I brought 4 bottles home. The Premium is 100% rye and is excellent for mixing. Half decent neat and a nice value all around. Wish we could get it down here. Alberta Spring was the only age stated product that I can remember but I only had a dram at the hotel bar and don't remember being overly impressed.
That's awesome - you'll have to share a picture when you crack it open!We do sell it but I have never noticed it. Thanks for the info though.

I like the 12 because it is made to the old recipe. I am in the minority though. I do however not like ANY Crown Royal. LOLThat's awesome - you'll have to share a picture when you crack it open!
I haven't perused the Canadian shelves at our local store in a while since I've just grabbed Windsor as a default but it looks like CC has multiple age stated varieties (12 and 9 yr) as well as a CC 100% rye, all sub-$20 a bottle. I might have to give some of those a try...
Looks good to me!Asked wife for "beer". She saw "stout". Its actually an imperial stout. Very nice at 7.5% ABV.

Well look at that, so they are...Are those Aliens nipple pinching each other?![]()
It is quite good so far. Nice nose and some tasty caramel, vanilla and peppery oak on the finish. Lingers nicely. First Michter’s for me. I’ll give it a run again some time later on and make a decision.Ed: What do you think of the Michter’s?

#2 sounds intriguing...do tell...is it like Gin? Does the bottom of the bottle leave you on the stairs crying?Rough weekend and I finished off my bottle of Laphroaig Triple Wood. I can tell you 2 things:
#1 Laphroaig will always be in my "bar". It's really a couple of cupboards in the kitchen.
#2 There's always much more at the bottom of a bottle than there appears.
