January 14, 20214 yr PA's Pappy lottery winning emails went out today. Lots of disappointed people here in state today.
January 14, 20214 yr one of the raffles out here is going off tomorrow. low odds, but fingers crossed.
January 19, 20214 yr No luck in the raffles got a michters single barrel rye today. Seems they just had a big release last week
January 21, 20214 yr found an Alberta cask strength rye that won whiskey of the year. curious to try it as it gets rave reviews.
January 25, 20214 yr No luck in winning the Pappy lotto for me either. I was checking my e-mail everyday like a kid on Christmas morning. Fingers crossed for better luck next year. Can’t wait to try it someday.
January 25, 20214 yr Author Brought this one home from work Saturday night. There were 3 words across the label that got me: Treacle. Bacon. Bonfires. Sold. Even with my store discount it was still $85. What the Hell. It was real good. So good that I downed 3 generous glasses of it a little too quickly. So Sunday was not a fun day. Just have to remind myself to sip and savour more slowly next time.

A buddy I bowled with and me 2 years ago made a bet that whoever had the lower average at the end of the year would buy the other a bottle of whiskey. Wrapped the price at $45. We tied at the end of the season so we decided to double the money and split a bottle. This is what we got. It was realllll good. I bought wee beastie a few weeks ago and while it's good, it's no where near how delicious this one was

The owner at my store put our 1 bottle at $100 then when we checked what the other store did (they got 2 bottles) they had it at $500. The owner there goes online and whatever the cheapest black market price he finds is what he sells rare stuff like this for. He has since bumped it to $600, sold 1 of his bottles, has the other sold to a customer who will be picking it up soon and will be taking our bottle since we don't get that kind of customer at our store. We also got this other one from Smoke Wagon, their Uncut Unfiltered. Sells for $65. Very good as I bought myself one and took it over my sister's xmas eve and shared with the BIL. No black market markup on this one, for now. This is only the 2nd 6pk case of it we got. Think the other store gets 2 cases.
January 29, 20214 yr @ToastJenkins, special order arrived just in the nick of time. How do you take it?
January 30, 20214 yr 42 minutes ago, ToastJenkins said: I drink it neat its that smooth start there add tiny bits of water Quite smooth, indeed, but not without depth. I picked up a subtle mix of vanilla, caramel, and honey with a backdrop of oak and smoke. Long spicy/peppery finish. Good sh**. Thanks for the suggestion! Side note: I like the how the bottle is wide-rimmed. Makes it easy to drop a small splash in a glass for tasting.
January 30, 20214 yr Glad you liked it. Its a well kept secret that hasnt gotten blown up in price the alberta premium cask strength is 66% alcohol...yet can drink it neat but its better with a cube. Really shines best in a manhattan

Really shines best in a manhattan Yeah, it was very fairly priced. Still rang in under $50 with tax, even though it had to be shipped from the producer. Gonna mix it up in an old fashioned in a minute. I made some concentrated simple syrup with raw sugar that should mix up nicely here.
