Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

It's Canadian whiskey, not bourbon. But I say drink what you like. [Reply]
My local just ran an auction for their allocation of Pappy 23, 20 and 15...auction is based on points accumulated in a variety of ways. Same gamesmanship in the auction had me missing out on the Pappy 20 by 500 pts (out of 17k points)..., and the shop admitted that the winner had gamed it. but not much they could do. I was bummed...so close and would have won had the guy not gamed it.
As a consolation, they sold me at retail a special bottling of Eagle Rare...very nice dram. Wish it wasn't a dry January or I'ld be hitting it hard. [Reply]
I'm loving Four Roses in my Old Fashioned lately. Very reasonably priced and quite smooth. And not the small batch or single barrel versions - just the regular. Just upgraded my whole setup and got the clear ice ball maker from Glacio. It works perfectly. [Reply]

It was too cold to go to my liquor store for '10% off regular price' Monday. So I opened a "reserved for later" bottle of Maker's Mark Private Reserve 107 proof. Delish! Way more powerful than my normal 87 proof, so I'll quit early. Go CHIEFS! I plan to call my amigo who gifted me this last year's Christmas present and thank him again. [Reply]
Was traveling through Kentucky over the holidays. I came across Old Bardstown Bottled in Bond. "Willett's Finest Quality" 100 proof. It is, to my knowledge, only available in Kentucky. Hopefully will be available in a wider market. If you are driving I-64, stop and pick up a bottle for ~40 bucks.
BTW, I have had very good luck shopping in the Kroger liquor stores in Louisville and Frankfort. Good staff and large selection.
