What is New to You...... SPEAKEASY EDITION

[NurseDave]

Yes, that's perfect justification to place your order....... then in a week or so, just go ahead and buy some stuff locally too, because you know you're going to!

Friggin' old barber Dave mentioned an online spirits store on the last zoom call. I made the mistake of looking through the Laphroaig section of The Whisky Exchange. Now I'm just to justify in my mind if I don't buy any locally for a few weeks it's okay to order a few from there.

There are some ridiculously awesome Laphroaig bottles on there right now. If only my bank roll was as large as my love for dusty Laphroaig!!

New bottle tonight as I'm on a staycation for a few weeks.

 

[NurseDave]

Few weeks???

 

[NurseDave]

Took a drive into the city for the 2020 Càirdeas and ran across the Ardbeg in the metal box. Couldn’t leave that behind because I even looked for just the box on eBay

Few weeks???

Sabbatical. You should try it sometime. It pairs well with whiskey, beer, pipes and cigars.

It was a rough day at the shop LOL no he had tried it and thought it was way too smoky so he gave me there’s about 3/4 of a bottle still a nice gift

Was given a bottle of this stuff yesterday. It's a craft gin from Michigan made by the Traverse City Whiskey Company. The label says that it is a "Northern Style gin with hints of cedar wood, cherry bark, lavender, and juniper sourced from Northern Michigan." I'll give it a go today sometimes and let you all know how it is.

Thanks for that Dave. I have seen the bottle on more than one occasion at the local LCBOs and never really looked twice at it. Will look for sure next time out.

Sounds like it’s not the best entry to see what bourbon is about, but if I see the trial pack of all 3 I’ll get it today.

 

[BarberDave]

What is the size of the Trial pack will look today

 

[NurseDave]

200ml bottles. That’s Canadian measurement. $50. That 50 actually dollars.

 

[BarberDave]

Based on Prices that is a great deal, however both Total Wine store here dont have it, so the search begins

 

[NurseDave]

Well, it took trips to two stores even though both of them were supposed to have it.

 

[BarberDave]

either one Wine & more? As ours did not have them
