Anyone try the Heather Ales Fraoch 22 Auchentoshan yet? I freaking hated it. Reminded me of Radical Road's Canny Man, which I also hated. Too much scotch nose on Fraoch 22 took so much away from the beer for me. If I'm going to drink scotch, which I love, I want the warming burn of it... I will not...

I recommend bourbon......because bourbon is awesome! W.L. Weller 12 year is going to be released at the LCBO in about two weeks. This is a well-regarded bourbon. It should retail for $45. It is the same juice as Pappy Van Winkle. Exact same mashbill and distilled at the same distillery (Buffalo Tra...

.... begging to get products in but I no longer have the patience. Instead I just pick a few products a year now and drink a lot less.. My feelings exactly. If I didn't have relatives in the Toronto area I wouldn't bother with the limited product listings at all and while Saison Dupont was supposed...

Re: Saison Dupont availability
If there is a specific store you'd like to see it at, also let us here at RR know and we will do all we can on our part to get it listed too! Cheers, Could you try Sudbury again, at any one of the three stores? As another poster wrote, I'd buy 1-2 bottles every week or every other week because I ca...

Re: Saison Dupont availability
If you do not see it on your shelves ask for it to be listed at your local store! When a single case arrived at my local downtown Sudbury LCBO last summer I bought up just a few because I assumed it be a semi-permanent product. Not so, haven't seen it on the shelf since. I'm simply not going to go ...

Price at Premier Wine and Spirits .

I finally picked up an Ardbeg Uigeadail... it's $20 cheaper in Alberta, so I made a quick stop in the calgary airport. I'm surprised how different it is from the standard Ardbeg... much bigger flavour, but I find the iodine more forward than the smoke that I love. Nice underlying, gentle sweetness ...

Thanks guys. I think I'm biased because when the more perishable Ontario craft beer finally does appear on the shelves here, I frequently pass on it because I make the assumption that it's older stock that won't sell in the more populated areas. Great to hear that it's drinking well, I'll pick up a ...
